Kleve

Kleve - culture and joie de vivre

The district town of Kleve with its more than 53,000 inhabitants is both modern and steeped in history. Its landmark, the Schwanenburg, characterises the silhouette of the town. From its tower, you can enjoy an unrivalled and impressive view of the Rhine plain all the way to the Netherlands. The lively town centre, above the picturesque course of the Kermisdahl river, with its numerous shops, restaurants and cafés is a magnet for visitors.
Kleve is widely known for its historic gardens and parkland, which were designed in the 17th century under Prince Johann Moritz von Nassau-Siegen. The Museum Kurhaus Kleve with its works of art from the Middle Ages to the present day is also a major attraction. A trip on the trolley from Kleve via Kranenburg to Groesbeek/NL through the fascinating Lower Rhine landscape is a special experience. The Reichswald forest and the ‘Düffelt’ nature reserve provide the perfect backdrop for extensive cycling and hiking tours, while Kleve Zoo with its many animal species is the most visited leisure centre in the city. With its ‘City - Land - Water’ concept, the city of Kleve was awarded the contract to organise the 2029 State Garden Show.
The town of Kleve has a broadly diversified SME economic structure and offers a wide range of Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes at the main location of Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences.
