Not to talk about Europe theoretically, but to cycle through it practically - there is an opportunity on the Lower Rhine: ´Where Europe is in front of the door´ is the name of the approximately 60-kilometer circular tour that runs from the district of Heinsberg through the Netherlands and Belgium.. On the way cyclists experience not only many similarities of the three neighboring countries, but also two geographic features.. On the one hand, the start and end point of the tour is also the westernmost point in Germany: The municipality of Selfkant in Heinsberger Land towers like a small peninsula into the territory of the Netherlands.. On the other hand, cyclists come as close to Susteren as the three countries as close as nowhere else, because there is the narrowest point in the Netherlands.. Germany and Belgium are separated from each other only by a strip of land five kilometers wide..
