Route Summary
Ever since the early 90s of the last century, Promotor has been setting out the so-called Tank Bag Tours. You understand that the name still comes from the GPS-free era, when motorcyclists still searched their way on roads with a roadbook in the tank bag or router roll. The 173 ANWB Promoter TankTasTocht (TTT) were scanned by Henry ten Dam and signed by Leon Stolk in Mapsource and later placed as a Track in a .gpx file. These have been made available through the MrGPS website with the approval of the ANWB Promoter so that everyone can enjoy it. The 1st TTT is from 1992, so the route may differ slightly from the original.
I have checked all route points and, where necessary, placed them neatly on the road. Also, if necessary, I have further spaced the start point and end point of the route to avoid navigating directly to the end point and I added the POI files from the start and end point just like a possible stopping point.
Finally, I made the route the same for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation users.
Thanks to Henry, Leon, MrGPS and Promoter.

RouteXpert Review
This TTT starts in Milsbeek and goes over mainly beautiful roads along the border with Germany to Winterswijk. Immediately after the start you drive past and through the Reichswald *. * The Reichswald or Rijkswoud is a rolling forest area between Kranenburg, Kleve, Goch and Bedburg-Hau in North Rhine-Westphalia along the Dutch border with the 95 m high Rupenberg as its highest peak. (Source: Wikipedia).
The large forest has a special history, also as the northernmost part of the Siegfried line **. Regular residents are deer, red deer and wild boar.
** The Westwall (or Siegfried line among the Allies) was a German line of defense that was built just before and during the Second World War and runs from Kleve, on the Dutch border, to the Swiss border. The Westwall has a length of more than 630 km. The Westwall was a succession of (underground) bunkers (also known as pill boxes), concrete tank barriers (also known as dragon teeth), machine gun nests, barbed wire barriers and minefields. (Source: Wikipedia).
After the Reichswald you drive towards Berg en Dal and then along the Rhine that you cross at Emmerich to have lunch in Megchelen, you are now about halfway along the route. After lunch you will swing along and occasionally across the border after the end point in Winterswijk.
Because I have driven large parts of this route myself, this route gets 4 stars.
