Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Borken à Winterswijk

This scenic ride takes you from Borken, a charming German town known for its historic old center, all the way to Winterswijk, a welcoming Dutch town famous for its lively market and beautiful surrounding countryside. Covering just over 25 km, this route is perfect if you want a leisurely cross-border ride with hardly any hills—just over 37 meters of gentle ascent and even a bit more descent.

Most of the terrain is smooth and paved, with long stretches of peaceful asphalt and a dash of old-world charm from paving stones here and there. Expect minimal traffic: you’ll spend most of the time cruising on quiet roads and bike paths, soaking up rural views, farmland, and maybe even catching a windmill or two as you approach the Netherlands.

Bring your camera and take it easy—this is prime cycling country, ideal for enjoying the calm atmosphere and friendly towns on both sides of the border!
