Icon description route Description

Parking: Salvatorplein Susteren (NL).

Signage: Walking app or GPS.

First 3.5 km through Susteren, then over mostly quiet roads and paths. You also walk through the wet nature reserve 'IJzerenbosch' via a paved path (bike path).

This region is also called 'the narrowest part of the Netherlands'. The borders here are less than 5 km apart. You could do this walk solely based on the junction points (jp), but we have noticed that the jp are sometimes poorly or not indicated. Therefore, use a walking app or GPS.

Rest bench(es): among others after 3.5 / 5.4 / 6.4 / 7.8 / 9.8 and 10.8 km. Catering: at jp 44, 'coffee house Het IJzerenbos'.
