Nettetal

Geographically, both cities are located on the Lower Rhine and thus offer a breathtaking landscape with rivers, lakes and forests. The region is known for its cycle paths along the Rhine as well as through idyllic villages such as Brüggen or Grefrath.

In Nettetal there are numerous tourist attractions to explore. Krickenbeck Castle is an impressive example of baroque architecture from the 17th century, which is now used as a conference and event centre. The Schwalm-Nette Nature Park offers hikes through unspoilt natural areas - here you can observe rare animal species or simply enjoy the peace and quiet.

Cultural highlights can also be found in both towns: In Viersen, the annual Jazz Festival takes place, which presents national and international artists. The Haus Lange/Haus Esters museum should also be visited - these buildings display modern works of art by world-famous artists such as Piet Mondrian or Max Ernst.

For culinary specialities, we recommend a detour to the weekly market in Viersen or a cosy restaurant visit in Nettetal's historic old town of Lobberich - here you will be served regional specialities!

Outdoor activities are possible in Nettetal and Viersen all year round. In summer you can swim at Blaue See or play a round of golf, while in winter the Neuss ski hall is only a few kilometres away.

If it should rain, we recommend a visit to the De Bütt indoor swimming pool in Viersen or one of the numerous indoor activities such as the "Escape Mission" Escape Room in Nettetal.

Where is the most beautiful? That depends on individual preferences, of course! However, we recommend a walk through the Kaldenkirchener Grenzwald - here you can experience pure nature and find peace far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
