Discover the region

Let's start with the tourist attractions: In Rheinberg you should visit the historic town centre, where you can admire numerous well-preserved half-timbered houses. The town park is also worth a walk or picnic in the greenery. Another highlight is Orsoy Castle from the 16th century.

In Wesel you must not miss the Willibrordi Cathedral - an impressive example of Gothic architecture from the 14th century. Also worth seeing are the Dämmerwald Fortress and the Wesel Historical Museum.

For culture lovers, there are many events to discover here: The "River Nights" music festival takes place every summer and offers a varied mix of jazz, pop and rock music right on the banks of the Rhine. In autumn, the international film festival VISIONALE attracts young talent to Wesel.

Culinary-wise, this region also has a lot to offer: Be sure to try the famous Rhenish specialities such as Sauerbraten or Himmel un Äd (mashed potatoes with apple sauce and black pudding). The numerous breweries in the region are also worth a visit.

For outdoor activities, there are many options here: In summer, you can go for a walk along the banks of the Rhine or take a bike tour through the Hohe Mark Nature Park. In winter, the "Alpincenter" ski area is ideal for skiing and snowboarding fans.

And what to do when it rains? How about a visit to the cinema or theatre? Or discover the museums in the towns - for example the Lower Rhine Museum in Wesel or the local history museum in Rheinberg.

In summary, this region is worth a visit, whether for culture, nature or culinary lovers. Come by and let yourself be inspired by this charming area!

    Sehr empfehlenswert! Aber in der Mühlenstraße 21f gibt es keinen Parkplatz. Nur der vom Restaurant und der ist privat. Ärger ist vorprogrammiert. Wie Stephanie Krause empfiehlt, es gibt einen schönen Waldparkplatz Verbanndsstr./Orsoyer Allee. Er groß und liegt direkt auf der Route.

    Ein echter Geheimtipp… Sehr Hundefreundlich, wenig Radfahrer, allgemein war es absolut nicht überlaufen und das obwohl es heute ein sehr sonniger schöner Samstag mit 26C war! Die Strecken durch den Wald sind sehr schön, am See laden einige schöne Buchten zum schwimmen ein. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder 😊🐕👍 Als Tipp:, wir haben auf dem Wanderparkplatz an der Verbandstraße geparkt (Siege Foto), der ist super von der Autobahn zu erreichen und ich fand ihn auch von der Lage sehr schön zwischen den Seen..

    soooo eine schöne Tour, tolle Aussichten, Störche, Wasserwelten und ganz viel Vogelgeschwitzer. Herrlich 🤗 dann noch mit der Fähre nach Orsay rüber und einmal über den Wall um das Örtchen herum. Ein wunderschöner Tag zum entspannen. Sehr zu empfehlen. Wenig Asphalt.

    Super Tour, gut ausgearbeitete Strecke, interessante Streckenabschnitte, nördlich der A42 wenig Verkehr. Wir haben am Amphitheater in Birten und zusätzlich in der sehenswerten historischen Altstadt von Xanten einen Stop eingelegt. Mit An- und Abreise aus Duisburg haben wir 100 km zurückgelegt. Schöne Sonntagstour. Vielen Dank für die Veröffentlichung der Tour bei outdooractive. Gruß Hecht
