Notter on the Regge: Hiking, Nature and Grimberg

Notter lies on the Regge; a specific hiking route and themes related to the landscape and history are central to planning a trip. If you are looking for a hotel in Notter, you can consider which activities you want to shape your stay.

Hiking from the Grimberg starting point

The Grimberg starting point for the hiking network is at Klokkendijk 14 in Notter, by the Grimberghoeve. From there, follow the blue arrows marking the hiking network. The Grimberg hiking route runs along the Regge through a varied cultural landscape. The address and trail markers answer two different planning questions: Where does the route begin, and what should you look for as you continue? Check the signs before setting out. This gives you both a specific starting point and a named trail marker for your hike.

Routes and crossing the Regge

There are numerous hiking and cycling routes along the Regge near Notter. Unlike the single Grimberg hiking route, the choice of routes along the river also includes paths for cyclists. You can therefore choose between a specifically marked hike and a wider selection of tours on foot or by bike. Hikers and cyclists can cross the Regge between Notter and Zuna using the hand-operated chain ferry. If this crossing is important to your plans, check the crossing arrangements before setting off. This allows you to include the ferry crossing as a separate point in your route planning.

Historical traces and landscape

Only the moats and two brick gate pillars remain of the former Havezate Grimberg. The pillars have sandstone caps and decorative urns. The historical traces therefore include both the moats as a landform and individual details of the gateway. Hereford cows and their calves graze in the associated pastures and in the Grimberghoeve’s own nature area. The former estate and the Grimberghoeve represent different aspects: historic architectural remains on the one hand, and nature and grazing on the other. This lets you consider local architectural history and landscape as separate themes.

Reggezuivel in Notter

Reggezuivel makes artisan dairy products on its farm in Notter. During opening hours, you can sample the products and visit the farm. Check the current opening hours before your visit so you can plan a tasting or farm visit around the farm’s opening times. The two options have different focuses: a tasting is about the products, while a visit is about the farm.

Which themes suit your stay?

If you mainly want to hike, Grimberg offers a specific starting point and blue trail markers. For a cycling trip, the numerous routes along the Regge and the possible crossing between Notter and Zuna are useful starting points. Those more interested in history will find a clear connection to the former Havezate in the surviving moats and gate pillars. The landscape and local produce offer further themes: Hereford cows and their calves graze in the Grimberghoeve’s pastures, and Reggezuivel makes artisan dairy products. These differences can help you decide how to think about Notter based on the activities you want to shape your trip.
