    The route initially follows the Rhine dike and then passes on both sides of the national border through the nature reserve “Hetter”; it is one of the most important wetlands in North Rhine-Westphalia, where rare animal and plant species have found a protected habitat. Further along, you will encounter sights such as the “Mouzeköttel” in Azewijn, Huis Landfort in Gendringen, Wasserburg Anholt, the biotope wildlife park “Anholter Schweiz” in Vehlingen, as well as the town tower in Isselburg and the castle ruin Haus Empel.

    Author’s recommendation

    If you stay in Rees, stroll along the nearly 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), the planet path (planets of the solar system at 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 entrance).
