Highlight • Castle

A tour of the castle complex is worthwhile, and a visit to the gastronomy that uses sustainably produced and healthy food is also recommended.

Biotopes along the Alte Niers

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Beautiful section of the "Old Niers", so the real name of the here called "Rauschenden Bach". Since the removal of the artificial barrages, the stream has regained its original character as a running water.

Many biotopes were created along the Niers during the renaturation, which serve as a habitat for various species of waterfowl.
