Rees: The oldest town on the Lower Rhine

Discover the special flair of Rees on a tour: on the one hand the oldest town on the Lower Lower Rhine with one of the most beautiful Rhine promenades, numerous monuments and sights, on the other hand a modern shopping town with sophisticated gastronomy and contemporary art and culture as well as a wide range of leisure activities. Visit the defence structures on the historic ramparts. The city fortifications were once among the most important on the Lower Rhine and the underground casemates are among the best-preserved early modern fortifications in the Rhineland. Anyone interested in art and the city's history will find what they are looking for in the municipal museum. Museum Koenraad Bosman and the sculpture park located directly behind the museum, with its walk-in sundial and planetary hiking trail, invite you to linger. Quiet dyke, forest and farm paths offer visitors ideal conditions for discovering the Lower Rhine landscape on foot and by bike, also in combination with the passenger ferries and passenger boats.
