Westernmost Point of Germany

Highlight • Monument

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.

Ohé en Laak Castle

Highlight • Castle

Ohé en Laak is located together with Stevensweert on the Island in the Maas, a (former) island between two river arms of the Maas, just west of the town of Echt at an altitude of approximately 26 meters. The old right arm is the Oude Maas. Due to sand and gravel excavations at various places on the island, several lakes have been created around the village, including the Dilkensplas, the Schroevendaalse plas, the Teggerse plas and most recently the Molenplas. Since the twentieth century, these have been used for water recreation and as a nature reserve, which is why the place attracts many tourists. There is a small marina.
Laak consists entirely of ribbon development, located along a road that runs parallel to the Maas. Ohé has both a section with ribbon development and a part with concentrated development.
From 1925 to 1934, the Juliana Canal was constructed, which forms an additional barrier between the island and the mainland. A few bridges provide the connection.

Het Geudje Castle

Highlight • Castle

Hasselholt ("t Geutje") is a beautiful privately owned castle. It has a date stone from 1548 and a beautiful Maasland Renaissance facade from 1651.

Architecturally, this castle is of great importance. It was originally built in the late Gothic style with a few Renaissance pieces here and there. It was significantly renovated with the restoration in 1970. The castle cannot be visited.
