Niers Floodplains in Zoppenbroich Forest

Highlight • River

Basically, the cycle path is very nice, but at the moment (3/2022) major construction work is underway (renaturation Niers).

New Bresges Park

Highlight • River

Here, the Niers River has been renaturalized and brought closer to its original course. You can literally see that an exciting marshland is being created here again.

The Zoppenbroicher Park does not look very nice in parts at the moment (March 2022). Numerous construction sites, renaturation Niers, with several excavators and felled trees somewhat alleviate the enjoyment.

Liedberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

During the renovation work at Liedberg Castle, workers discovered eight bricked-in shoes. Some kind of "defensive spell"? More than 1,500 finds have been scientifically evaluated, but the preservationists have not come across the riddle: "So far there is no source that mentions the walling in of shoes in buildings as a custom or building tradition." One thing is certain: when Liedberg was converted into a baroque palace , the shoes have also been hidden. Parts of the building dating from the 14th to the 18th century are still preserved today. Since Peter Overlack bought the facility in 2007, it has been extensively renovated.

Liedberg Mill Tower

Highlight • Monument

History

The seven-story tower on the eastern summit of the Liedberg was a keep of the fortress (castle) of Liedberg. There is no scientific dating of its age. According to Jakob Bremer, it could have been built around the year 900 after the Norman raids. The residential tower, built from fired bricks and ashlar sandstone, lost importance after the construction of Liedberg Castle.

In 1572 it was converted into a windmill by adding a wooden gallery and a wing hood to the tower. In the wars of 1664 and 1706 the gallery was destroyed and rebuilt in stone. In 1776 the rent collector of Liedberg Castle tried unsuccessfully to auction the mill because it was not profitable. The French declared the mill a domain in 1794. The unprofitable mill remained in operation until 1836. A storm in 1836 tore down parts of the roof structure, the wings with the axle and the pinion wheel, ending its use as a mill.

Niers Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice section of the route and a far better alternative than cycling through the city if you want to get to the other side of Mönchengladbach.

Pond at Zoppenbroicher Park

Highlight • Lake

The Zoppenbroicher Park is part of a green strip in the east of MG, on the border with the district of Neuss. Numerous benches invite you to take a break.

The tour was varied. But not easy.

This route has a lot to offer. Haus Hülsdonk and the Rheydt moated castle are worth seeing. A stop in Liedberg 18 km before the end is recommended. A wonderfully varied tour.

The tour went across the fields first to the airport🛩 Mönchengladbach-Düsseldorf, past the Niers💧 to Rhyedt Castle, then in Liedberg we looked at the half-timbered houses and the castle. The tour started in Kaarst.
