excursion tips
Our holiday home is the starting point for our guests for hiking and exploring the surrounding area, but also for cycling tours on the two-country route of the Euregio Rhine-Maas or the manor route on the Meuse and Niers.
We have cycling maps and a wide range of tourist information brochures available to help you plan your stay according to your individual needs.
Please follow us on Facebook or Instagram. Tips and "insider tips" are regularly published here! The links are at the bottom of the home page in the contact field.
Grieth
- District of Kalkar: Former fishing village with beautiful little streets (into Limmerstrasse!) and pedestrian/bicycle ferry. This means that you can cross to the other side of the Rhine for little money. An experience in particular for families with small children, even if the other side of the Rhine does not have much to offer apart from a good fish restaurant.
Kernie's Family Park - Core Water Wonderland. Walking distance. French fries, soft ice cream and soft drinks are included in the entrance fee.
calcar – Historic downtown. Here you will find the nearest shops (discounters, bakers, etc.), but also some nice restaurants and snack bars. Check out the market square and the old mill. The beautiful "Mühlenhof Golf & Country Club" is located from Hönnepel in the direction of Niedermörmter.
Wissel – Natural swimming pool and boat rental, Wisseler Dünen. The leisure and camping park "Wisseler See" offers, among other things, opportunities for bowling and skittles. http://www.niederrhein-natouren.de offers interesting guided tours and hikes in Wissel and the surrounding area. Segway tours are also available here.
Emmerich – Rhine promenade with Katjes warehouse outlet. Embricana swimming pool. Boat trips on the Rhine are possible from here. The Dutch border runs right here.

Xanten – Römerstadt Great historic city center, worth seeing cathedral, archaeological park.
