The former Roman settlement with more than 2000 years of history is a great place for a break. The old city center is worth seeing and here are plenty of opportunities for refreshing and strengthening.

Historic old town of Xanten

Highlight • Historical Site

Xanten is a beautiful historic city. The Gothic House is one of the oldest buildings in Xanten, built in 1540 as a trading house, and presents itself again in its former glory. The wooden beamed ceilings, the walls, the roof truss and the historic facade have been preserved undamaged.

May 13, 2024,Rheinberg Richtung Xanten am Rhein entlang und zurück

So we thought... let's go to the Rhine. The weather was great, everything was great. It was really fun.

August 18, 2022,NRW Niederrhein: Rundtour Xanten - Alpen - Rheinradweg - Bislicher Insel (18.08.2022)

We wanted to explore a part of the Rhine Cycle Path that was new to us.
We parked for free at the Archaeological Park, Hafentempel entrance.
We had actually planned to take a break in Alpen, but the streets there were torn up in the center and there were roadblocks and construction noise everywhere - so hurry on!
We didn't …

Today, at a summer temperature of 27°C, we did another round over the Rhine dike and past the Bislicher Insel in the direction of Xanten. At Bislicher Insel, the water buffalo could be observed closer than ever before. They were right next to the fence and you could almost touch them. There were again many observers with huge lenses, who, …

April 30, 2023,Fahrradrundtour 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️ Wesel ↔️ Alpen, Xanten 30.04.23 ( 157 )

Our first bike tour this year, 🙈 so it shouldn't be a big tour.
There was a spring festival in the Alps.
A good opportunity to try out bikes and ourselves, especially since the weather was sunny.
Think if the nice weather lasts, we will read / watch 👀 more often again.

May 3, 2022,Niederrheintour zwischen den NSG an den Rheinauen und der Bislicher Insel 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️03.05.2022

Because it was so nice yesterday we drove off again today. The intense fresh colors of nature only exist for a short time in spring. The smells and the scent of the rapeseed fields are now particularly great. It's just a lot of fun to cycle through nature at this time of year 😊

April 22, 2023,Runde über den Deich und die Bislicher Insel bis Xanten und über den Fürstenberg zurück 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️ 22.04.2023

A quick lap before the announced rain comes. At 20 °C and sunshine 🌞, this tour took us through the still young spring with wonderfully fresh natural colors. Unfortunately, the "delicious" water buffalo were not to be seen on the Bislicher Insel today. But the Auen Café was open and there was a delicious coffee with cake. After a short …

Actually, this tour was a test drive or maiden voyage with the Simplon e-bike Chenoa.
The second Chenoa is still a long time coming.
We have traveled this route many times, so it was ideal as a test track.
Not everything is set optimally yet, but the wider tires had a positive effect as a damper. The other will show …
