Overview
Geldern & the Lower Rhine at a glance
Cycling the Lower Rhine
The Lower Rhine is one of Germany’s favourite cycling regions. Its dense node-network of cycle paths runs over flat terrain through fields, woods and along the rivers — perfect for day tours, e-bike included. A curated list of tours around Geldern is in the guest folder in your apartment.
Day trips with children
Theme parks, indoor play worlds or bathing lakes — the region has plenty for families. You’ll find our addresses further down; and if you’d like a recommendation for your stay, just ask.
Nature & walking
Woods, meadows and lakes shape the Lower Rhine landscape. Quiet paths are made for walks and hikes, and the wide, flat surroundings keep the going easy.
