Arcen Castle and Gardens

Highlight • Castle

Arcen Castle was built in its present form in the 17th century by the Dukes of Geldern. A predecessor building from the 16th century was destroyed in 1646.

The outer bailey is surrounded by a moat. Over a small bridge you reach the castle courtyard through the main portal of this bailey. Above the portal is the stone alliance coin Geldern-von Lützerode. With the exception of the main portal, which is built in natural stone, the entire castle is a brick building.

The entrance to the castle garden worth seeing including main building costs 15, -, which are absolutely worthwhile.
Attention: only in the summer months!

Arcen Historic Centre

Highlight • Settlement

Arcen's picturesque town center offers plenty of places to stop for a bite to eat and many beautiful Limburg houses. A visit during the week is recommended, as it gets very busy on weekends when the weather is nice.

Path Along the Meuse

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful path with a view of the Maas; you can watch ships, with luck spot storks or beavers in the wetlands, or take a detour to Broekhuizen by ferry

A very beautiful, varied route. I'd love to do it again.

We were looking for a tour near Kevelaer and found one on Komoot.
A very beautiful, varied tour through forest and fields and for a long time along the Maas. Unfortunately, we couldn't go through the heath due to flooding. But the detour on the bike path was completely fine.
