Winterswijk - Borken railway line, Former railway line in Winterswijk, Netherlands.

The railway line spans between Winterswijk and Borken, covering a distance through fields and woodlands near the Dutch-German border.

The railway line opened in 1878 to connect the Netherlands with Germany, serving as a vital transportation route for goods and passengers.

The transformation of this railway line reflects the regional shift from industrial transport infrastructure to environmental conservation and public recreation.

The former railway tracks have been converted into paths that people can now use for walking and cycling through natural landscapes.

This decommissioned railway line, closed in 1979, now functions as a protected natural monument with specific plant and animal species.
