Geographically, Hünxe is located between the Ruhr area and the Dutch border. The town of Wesel is only a few kilometres away and is an important junction for shipping on the Rhine. Particularly worth seeing are the numerous historic buildings, including the 16th century town hall and the 19th century fortifications.

For culture enthusiasts, there are many highlights to discover in both towns: The Bislich Museum, for example, is dedicated to the history of the Lower Rhine lowlands, while the Diersfordter Waldhaus is a popular destination for art lovers.

This region also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine: Be sure to try the famous asparagus or enjoy regional specialities such as turnip cabbage or pumpernickel bread.

When it comes to outdoor activities, nature lovers will get their money's worth - hiking through the forests around Hünxe or cycling tours along the Rhine are particularly recommended. Water sports enthusiasts will also find ideal conditions here, be it canoeing or sailing on one of the numerous lakes.

And what to do in bad weather? Don't worry - even then there are plenty of entertainment options. Why not visit the Aquarius leisure pool in Hünxe or take a trip to nearby Oberhausen, where there are plenty of shopping opportunities and indoor activities.

No matter what time of year - Hünxe and Wesel are always worth a trip. Let our Travel Guide inspire you and discover the beauty of this region for yourself!

    Wunderschöne und abwechslungsreiche Wanderung. Herrliche, uralte Bäume, kleine Bachläufe, schmale Pfade, Brücken für Waghalsige 😜 und anspruchsvolle An- und Abstiege. Wirklich zu empfehlen. Etwas Kondition kann auf dieser Tour nicht schaden.

    Schöne Wanderung mit abwechslungsreichen Wegen. Den "wackeligen Steg" haben wir nicht benutzt, der Tragbalken links ist schon angebrochen. 400m zurück und dann dort über die Brücke.

    Eine sehr schöne Runde durch einen naturbelassenen Wald, anfangs an einem Bach entlang. Manche Wege musste man etwas suchen, aber die Navigation klappte sehr gut. Nach viel Regen etwas matschig.

    Auch an einem etwas grauen Februartag eine schöne Runde. Der hier gezeigte Track geht von der Schleuse etwas Querfeldein, wir sind einfach am Kanal zurück zum Parkplatz.

    Schöne Strecke durch flaches Gelände, teilweise Waldwege, im Bereich des ehemaligen Munitionsdepots der Bundeswehr überwiegend asphaltiert. Parkmöglichkeiten auf dem Seitenstreifen vor der Außenstelle der Bezirksregierung Düsseldorf (Am Feuerwachturm 50). Die alte Bunkeranlage ist ein Überbleibsel des kalten Krieges. Sie wurde von 1981 bis 1998 für die längerfristige Lagerung von Heeres-Munition genutzt und liegt entsprechend versteckt im Wald. Die allermeisten Bunker der 46 Bunker sind verschlossen. Nur in zwei kann man einen Blick werfen. So einen Ort sieht man nicht alle Tage. Ein echter Geheimtipp also 😉.

    Abewchslungsreiche Tour, wenn sie auch fast "nur" durch abwechslungsreichen Wald führt. An sich ist schon alles gesagt worden. Ein paar Rastmöglichkeiten mehr wären schön. Die Mühle fand ich jetzt nicht besonders aufregend. Unter dem Strich eine empfehlenswerte Wanderung.

    Sehr schöne Runde, die sicherlich auch im Sommer gut zu laufen ist. Uns haben nur Bänke gefehlt, aber auf einem Baum sitzend kann man ja auch prima eine Pause machen. Danke fürs Einstellen dieser schönen Runde.

    Ich war tatsächlich echt positiv überrascht von dieser Tour. Schöne viele kleine Pfade und ein echt verdammt schöner Wald! Ich wäre am liebsten öfters in die kleinen verwinkelten Wege eingebogen, bin dann aber doch dem Track gefolgt. Auf meiner Tour heute habe ich gerade einmal 10 Menschen getroffen. Punktabzug gibt es leider, trotz verdammt idyllischer Ecke, wegen der Hauptstraße und die doch fast überall zu hörende Autobahn.
