June 1, 2025,Kalkar - Xanten

A lovely little ride. Unfortunately, parts of the dike have since been closed to hikers and cyclists, so we couldn't complete our entire route.

There was a "Siegfried Spectacle" in Xanten, so the town was very crowded and the bike paths were impassable.

A very special place is the Lucas Glass Studio. A must-stop 😄👍

Here the Lower Rhine shows itself at its best. A perfect bike tour without a main road for cars.

June 12, 2022,Xanten (3): Ausflug nach Kalkar

Second and unfortunately also the last day of our short holiday in Xanten: bike tour along the Rhine to the pretty little town of Kalkar and back via the dead-straight avenue bike path. Finally, we were also able to visit the interior of the cathedral, which was not possible yesterday [komoot.de/tour/803385089] because of the choir concert.

Very nice market square with lots of restaurants and delicious ice cream. We continued towards the Rhine past Kalkar Wunderland. Here the path ran a …

Today's destination was the Landhauscafe' am Rhein on the Reeserschanz. Unfortunately, we had to realize with regret that this beautiful cafe didn't survive the Corona period either. As a replacement, we found the "Mühlenhofcafe" at a nearby golf course, where we were provided with basic culinary supplies 😊 We then went back to Xanten via the Alleenweg, a former railway …

This time we decided to cycle along the Lower Rhine. We found a route to junctions on the Xanten city website. We found a great free parking space. Then we went past the South and North Sea towards Kalkar. Then via Marienbaum back along the avenue cycle path to Xanten. The junctions worked really well, you don't always have to …
