Kranenburg
Kranenburg
On the border with the Netherlands, the municipality of Kranenburg is an attractive destination for art lovers, pilgrims, nature lovers and cyclists. The landmark mill tower and the Katharinenhof Museum characterise the historic town centre, as does the large late Gothic pilgrimage church of St. Peter and Paul, which houses a large number of art treasures. The nine districts of Frasselt, Grafwegen, Kranenburg, Mehr, Niel, Nütterden, Schottheide, Wyler and Zyfflich belong to the municipality of Kranenburg.
The extensive lowlands, the ‘Düffel’ nature reserve with its fields, meadows, gnarled pollard willows and bushy hedges as well as the neighbouring Reichswald forest offer a real nature experience. In winter, the numerous wintering wild geese can be observed on a goose excursion.
Situated on the ‘Via Romana’ - a historic trade and transport route between Xanten and Nijmegen, which the Romans built 2000 years ago - Kranenburg invites you to linger. Kranenburg's shopping landscape is also well-known and popular with its Dutch neighbours.
A variety of small and medium-sized businesses have settled in the ‘Im Hammereisen’ industrial estate. The area is conveniently located directly on the B9 motorway (Nijmegen-Kranenburg-Kleve).
