3 days – radial tour

The day begins with a cosy breakfast in a relaxed atmosphere. Let your spirit run free and allow yourself to be inspired by a whole load of “Gedöns” at the eponymous café. Upon departure, buy a lovingly handmade item. Every visit reveals new creative moments.

Then start the day feeling lively and invigorated. “The greatest happiness on Earth is sitting in the saddle of a steel horse”, or something similar might be the motto on the bicycle tour on the apple green NiederrheinRädern, because movement makes you happy! Discover happiness while cycling or hiking, as well as your personal happy place in the natural surroundings and in the town of Wassenberg. Every happy place is a challenge and contains tips for being happy. The crowning conclusion to the tour is the Bergfried, the key to which awaits at the visitors’ centre. Enjoy the breathtaking expansive views from this viewing tower, find peace, breath deeply and enjoy the fresh air, safe in the knowledge that you have the “key to happiness” in your hand.

Leave the stresses of everyday life behind in the evening at the restaurant “by Savio” with a glass of wine and a 4 course meal, then snuggle up in a freshly made bed at the time-honoured Burg Wassenberg and, the next morning, as the crowning conclusion to the search for the “key to happiness”; you can even take a little bit of happiness home in the form of a happiness bag.
