Emmerich on the Rhine Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

The gastronomic mile with many restaurants invites you to a culinary stay. Take a seat in the beach chairs and view the many ships. Along the boulevard you will also find the Krantor & the "Poortekerl", two monuments that still remind us of the Hanseatic period.

Historic Center of Grieth

Highlight • Settlement

You should take the time to thoroughly explore this beautiful place, which by the way once belonged to the Hanseatic League. And then there's the Italians at the northern end of town with their delicious ice cream. There is also pizza.

August 8, 2025,NSG Bienener Altrhein – Aufn Deich Runde von Rees
The route includes a lot of country roads, which is a bit of a shame. It looked different on the specified route. The detour to the Rhine in Grieth made up for it.

Inspired by a Komoot suggestion, we went to Rees to drive right and left along the Rhine to Emmerich and back again. Unfortunately, you very often drive along main roads and very little directly on the Rhine.

In Rees you can take a very nice break on the Rhine promenade.

In Grieth, at Deichgräf, there is a very good menu (fish) and has a beautiful view of the Rhine.
