The Selfkant is the westernmost point of Germany you should really explore, preferably by bike.
Selfkant belongs to the so-called Zipfel places.
In the west the Selkant
In the north List on Sylt
In the east Görlitz in Saxony
In the south Obersdorf in the Allgäu Alps
By the way, if you visit all 4 Zipfel locations within 4 years, you will receive a typical gift from the 4 municipalities.
Even so, Germany can be explored on a great white.

View of Breberen Windmill

Highlight • Monument

The mill is still fully functional and is operated regularly. There are also group tours by Verein Historische Mühlen im Selfkant e.V. after agreement possible. Right next to the mill is the Cafe aan de Mühle. There is also a charging station for e-bikes.

Selfkant Museum Windmill and Café aan de Mühle

Highlight • Monument

This mill is well worth seeing and is full of interesting technology, which you can have explained to you almost every weekend (see muehlenverein-selfkant.de/). There is also a good place to stop for refreshments right next to the mill with good food (fries recommended!) and drinks.

Bruchtor City Gate

Highlight • Monument

The almost 800-year-old city wall testifies that Gangelt was an important place in the Middle Ages, which had to be protected by a fortification. On a tour you can still see the remains of walls, gates, alleys and towers impressively. Access to the city was through 4 tower gates. Heinsberger Tor and Bruchtor have survived to this day.
