Geographically, Kerken and Kleve are located near the Dutch border on the Lower Rhine. The surrounding area is characterised by green meadows, fields and rivers - a perfect backdrop for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling.

One highlight of this region is the many sights: In Kleve there is Moyland Castle with its impressive art collection as well as the Kurpark with its beautiful gardens. Boetzelaer Castle in Kalkar is also worth a visit - here you can not only experience history, but also take part in a wine tasting.

Culturally, this region also has a lot to offer: the Museum Kurhaus Kleve shows contemporary works of art from all over the world. In summer, many music festivals take place, including the well-known Jazz Festival in Moers or the Ruhrtriennale Festival of Arts and Culture.

But Kerken and Kleve also have a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights: Be sure to try regional specialities such as Rhenish Sauerbraten or Himmel un Äd (black pudding with mashed potatoes). This goes perfectly with a glass of the local beer "Klevischer Klump".

If it rains, you can go to the museum, for example - there are plenty of exciting exhibitions to discover. Or simply take a leisurely bike ride through the countryside and stop off at one of the many cafés.

The most beautiful time in Kerken and Kleve is in spring, when everything is in bloom and green. But this region also has its charm in autumn - then you can admire the colourful foliage on a hike through the forests.

All in all, Kerken and Kleve is definitely worth a trip! With this Travel Guide, you have all the important information for your stay at hand. We wish you an unforgettable holiday!

    Die Strecke bin ich gestern abgefahren, allerdings von Duisburg Rheinhausen, ohne den Moerser Teil. Muss sagen sehr gut ausgearbeitet, auf den kleinen Strassen zu fahren ging sehr gut! Habe mich genau an deinen Track gehalten.

    Abwechslungsreiche Tour mit wechselnden Untergründen. Teils sehr schmale Waldwege.

    Am 05.09.2018 bin ich diese Runde gefahren. Eine genußvolle Kombination altbekannter Strecken. Gegen Ende ein Vorschlag: hinter Pleineshof nicht nach links Stenden, sondern rechts, die 1. links am Café Waldeslust (war mal eine RTF-Kontrolle) vorbei bis zur nächsten Landstr., dort links zur Kreuzung und gerade aus über den Tonisberg, unten rechts Wolfsberg, unten links Siebenhäuser, nach ca. 1km links Wolfsberg, dann geradeaus bis zu quer verlaufenden Landstr. rechts Hülserberg, oben links, herunter nach Loos Bell und dann nach Moers.
