Short route description: from Velen it goes via Bocholter Aa-Radweg to the Pröbstingsee. From there to Borken-Marktplatz, then in the direction of Heiden. From Heiden it goes to the Düwelsteenen (Devil's Stones). Then it goes past Gut Ross (old sawmill) back to Velen (Velen Castle) to the destination (parking lot)

The route is mostly flat and 90% asphalted. Only a few passages, paved paths (Bocholter Aa-Radweg) and over forest paths (e.g. at the Teufelssteinen). After the Düwelsteenen there is a small incline. Then it goes downhill and almost without pedaling to the Artesian Well.
