Overview

About this route

Selfkantbahn Cycling Tour

Near the Dutch border lies a gem of steam nostalgia: The Selfkantbahn, the last remaining narrow-gauge railway in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. For about 70 years, the current Selfkantbahn served as the Geilenkirchen district railway on a 38 km route. Its primary goal was to develop the predominantly rural area in Germany's westernmost region, the Selfkant, and its neighboring areas.
