The Bylerward Route takes you through the historic landscape around Kleve. On the route, you will discover various places in the Kleve district that are historically very interesting. Kalkar, Grieth, and Kleve itself invite you to explore the past.
Several local history museums tell of the historical impressions of the past, such as the local history museum in Grieth. But there is also something for adventurers: the family park Kernwasserwunderland or the Wisseler See are especially worth visiting for families. Here you can spend pleasant hours together, eat and drink something light, or enjoy a typical soft-serve ice cream at Kerni.
On the way back to Kleve, you can see the beautiful Rhine Bridge, Germany's longest suspension bridge, also called the Golden Gate of the Lower Rhine. Once back in Kleve, you can enjoy a relaxed stroll through the pedestrian zone and end the day.

You start at the collegiate and provost church. Very close by is Schwanenburg, which shapes the Kleve region as its landmark. The next stop is the B.C. Koekkoek House museum and the spacious city center of Kleve, which invites you to stroll and shop.
After a short ride, you reach Prince Moritz's tomb, built in 1678 by Prince Johann Moritz of Nassau-Siegen. However, he was ultimately buried in the princely crypt in Siegen. You will pass the Haus Riswick, a teaching and experimental facility of the Chamber of Agriculture of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The route continues towards the Hanseatic town of Grieth, which belongs to the city of Kalkar with 810 inhabitants. Here you can visit, among other things, the local history museum and spend pleasant hours in the amusement park Wunderland Kalkar or at the Wisseler See and its nature reserve. A detour to the historic market square of Kalkar is also worthwhile.
When you ride along the dike beside the Rhine, you have a beautiful view of the Emmerich Rhine Bridge. The next bridge is also worth a stop: the Griethausen railway bridge is the oldest railway bridge in Central Europe.
The last few kilometers bring you back through the pedestrian zone.
