    On this route, you cycle from Rees on the Rhine cycle path towards Wesel. Along the way, you pass the districts of Haffen and Mehr before reaching Bislich to cross to Xanten by ferry "Keer Tröch II". From the Xanten landing stage, you have the opportunity to make a detour to the historic town centre of Xanten, which is about 3 km away. The cycling route continues from the landing stage past the Xanten South and North Seas, which are considered a paradise for water sports, swimming fun, entertainment, and relaxation. Finally, the ferry ‘Rääße Pöntje’ takes you back to Rees.

    Attention: This route is only possible in connection with the ferries ‘Rääße Pöntje’ and ‘Keer Tröch II’. The ferry season begins on Palm Sunday (Sunday before Easter) and ends on the last Sunday in October. During this time, the ferries operate on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. More information about the ferries is available at www.niederrheinfaehre.de and www.bislich.de.

    Author’s recommendation

    If you stay in Rees, stroll along the almost 1,000 m long Rhine promenade. It is one of the most beautiful Rhine promenades in Germany. From here, you have the opportunity to take a boat trip on the Rhine. Also worth seeing are the 'Koenraad Bosman Museum' (art and city history), the sculpture park (open free of charge all year round), the planet trail (planets of the solar system to a scale of 1 : 1,000,000,000), the casemates (fireproof gun chambers), or enjoy the view over the Rhine and the Lower Rhine landscape from the mill tower (free admission).
