Hiking in Naturpark Maas-Schwalm-Nette

Viersen

3 days on premium hiking trails

Welcome to the “Wasser.Wander.Welt” hiking paradise with wonderful trails that take you into the heart of the beautiful natural landscape of the Lower Rhine.

Our newly installed and certified premium hiking trails present the forest and lake landscape typical of Naturpark Maas-Schwalm-Nette in both an adventurous and relaxing manner. The eponymous Maas, Schwalm and Nette rivers, as well as numerous ponds, lakes and stream courses characterise this wonderful corner of the earth.

So you wander through a stretch of land where mills literally still clatter by rushing streams and the fox and the hare say “goodnight”. Everything is enveloped in a deep stillness, quietly interwoven with the twittering of forest birds.

Narrow paths through the enchanted woods along the border lead through high forests, where you can breath in the deepest peace. Placid expanses of water lilies across the broad lake panorama are reminiscent of Impressionist paintings. The reeds billowing in the wind are home to a multitude of indigenous fauna, from the busy beaver to the fish-hunting herons. Along these paths, nature invites you to experience the quiet wonder on shanks’ mare – welcome to the green soul of the Niederrheins!
