Rheurdt

Rheurdt - the eco-village on the Lower Rhine

Surrounded by extensive nature reserves and wooded hills, the municipal area offers fantastic views as well as signposted cycling, skating, riding and hiking trails through the charming Lower Rhine landscape.
The Oermter Berg in the Lower Rhine Landscape Park is one of the largest terminal moraines on the left bank of the Lower Rhine and is now a popular excursion destination and local recreation area. There is a forest nature trail, a geological nature trail, game reserves, barbecue areas and three children's playgrounds. Rheurdt is known as a horse and rider-friendly community: An 18-kilometre network of bridle paths stretches around Rheurdt.
One of the sights is the tower windmill, built in 1880 as a ‘round Dutch mill’. The first youth hostel in the Rhineland was established in the former tower windmill in the village of Schaephuysen in 1924. Leyenburg Castle is a stately rococo castle from the 18th century that is well worth a visit.
