Leichenhäuschen Memorial

Highlight • Monument

I find it hard to imagine that around a hundred years ago 10 to 12 corpses were washed up here every year, so that a morgue was built to hold the corpses until they were identified.

March 19, 2023,Weg auf dem Rheindeich - Runde von Götterswickerhamm

A few Sunday runners were out and about in Götterwickershamm today. We chose the asphalt-heavy route because it had rained a lot in the last few days. At the finish, there was delicious cake and a cold drink in the Zur Arche restaurant.

April 29, 2023,🥾😊 Wenn schon nicht die Nordsee, dann wenigstens der Rhein 😊 bei Götterswickerhamm 🥾🥾

🥾😊 Not from the North Sea but from Götterswickerhamm to Götterswickerhamm 😊 over the Rhine dike and along the beautiful willow avenue. A great old stock of trees, which unfortunately you can already see the years 🌳.
This hike has almost exclusively paved roads 🥾🥾.
Happy hiking greetings 🤗 Ulla

First hike after a flu infection. Very strong wind and a lot of water in the Rhine. A nice tour, unfortunately the battery wasn't enough for a complete recording - poor preparation ;-).
