"...In the late Middle Ages, the village received its present parish church, St. Martin. Considerable resources were available to create such a large church building. The Vynen church tower became a prominent landmark on the Lower Rhine. ..." https://vynen.com/unser-dorf/geschichte/

Unfortunately, the cycle path along the Xanten North Sea is no longer in good condition. Potholes and the hard surface are in need of repair.

Beautiful river landscape on the left bank of the Lower Rhine – a link between nature and industry. The river serves as a transport route for essential raw materials and finished products on their way all over the world.
