June 23, 2025,Brachter Wald, Swalmdal en Oude Swalm-monding

June 23, 2025: Heavy gravel tour through the Brachter Wald to Brüggen. Then through the Swalmdal to the Oude Swalm estuary on the Maas. There the road ends, but you can turn right along a field edge to a small bridge over the current estuary of the Swalm in the Dode Maas.
