The Zons District Museum is located in the historic town center of the medieval customs fortress of Zons and vividly presents the history of the region. The location combines culture, the Rhine landscape, and a pleasant atmosphere, offering cyclists a worthwhile cultural stop.

Myriameter stones were formerly placed 10 kilometers apart on both sides of the Rhine. They bore inscriptions on all four sides. The weathered and mossy Myriameter Stone 55 stands on the left bank of the Rhine, in the Dormagen district of Zons, about 600 meters southeast of the ferry dock in Zons. The carved inscriptions are no longer legible. This historic survey marker is one of the last of its kind.

Always good, well-organized, and especially on Friday afternoons when the A1 and A46 are closed. It's always a good day trip recommendation.

The Rhine Tower building is directly adjacent to the Customs House and the Chapel of the Holy Trinity. The mighty Rhine Tower also served as a customs tower. Customs duties were collected and administered there and in the adjacent Customs House.

It is a defiant defensive structure and also a habitat for many rare animal and plant species. The ravages of time had eroded the more than six-meter-high city fortifications, so that the parapet above the former battlement, in particular, was no longer stable. To reconcile monument protection and nature conservation, compromises were necessary during the repair. For ecological reasons, the parapet could not be replaced in three places despite their lack of strength. Steel safety nets and the injection of binding agents now provide the necessary safety.

Beautiful old town center. A walking path along the city wall and quaint alleyways in the city center. It's best to set off early if the weather is nice. The parking lot at the Rhine Gate quickly fills up around midday, and the outdoor seating areas of the restaurants and cafés are packed by 1 p.m.

Very friendly service. You receive a small map of the old town and a brochure with the most important sights and information about them. A good basis for a stroll through the beautiful, well-worth-seeing town of Zons.
