Re- Goch

We lived there on our first tour in 1981. I quite liked it there. Walking through the nearby Reichswald Forest, it isn't long before you came across the remains of the German trench system from 1945. On one walk, I found the rusting remains of a Canadian tin helmet. Others would find live ordinance. I remember when 2 German kids were killed near Kleve when they found an old German anti-tank mine

The Reichswald Forest is also home to the largest Commonwealth cemetery in Germany and is a beautifully tranquil and reflective place.
