Geldern

Geldern - the LandLebenStadt

With more than 35,000 inhabitants, Geldern is the third largest municipality in the district of Kleve. The medium-sized centre offers numerous shopping, sports and cultural facilities.
The historical heritage of the old ducal town can be found in many places. For example, underground passages and casemates can be visited at the Geldern mill tower, while art exhibitions are held in the tower itself. Idyllic cycle and hiking trails lead around Geldern to castles, manor houses and churches. Haag Castle, for example, is one of the most important moated castles on the Lower Rhine and is home to a restaurant and a golf course. Walbeck Castle, situated directly on the River Niers, is a stylish and natural accommodation, seminar and event venue with a wide range of leisure activities. The district of the same name is known nationwide for the asparagus produced there and the parade of the asparagus princess. It is also home to the idyllic outdoor forest pool, which is not only one of the largest outdoor pools in Germany, but has also established itself as a great leisure and concert location for several years now.
Geldern also has a large catchment area in the areas of education, work and supply.
