    Geldern Market, Kneipp Garden Geldern, Schloss Haag, Market and Church in Wetten, Marienpark Kevelaer, Solegarten Kevelaer with graduation tower and Kneipp facility, transit through Twisteden, Niers canal

    There are three bike theme routes around Kevelaer and Geldern. The three routes, ranging from 30 to 40 kilometers in length, connect the Kneipp facilities of the two towns.

    The Solegarten St. Jakob promises relaxation, recreation, and time to catch your breath. A special focus in the Solegarten is on the element “water.” A round of water treading in the wading pool stimulates circulation and strengthens the immune system. On the adjacent barefoot path, special sensory impressions can be experienced and foot reflex zones can be trained.

    At the Geldern Health Campus, there is herbal bliss and pure nature on 1,000 m². The natural wading pool serves as a combination of a natural pond with native marsh, clay, and aquatic plants and a water-treading area.
