Uedem

Uedem - worth living ...lovable

This is the motto of the municipality located on the edge of a charming chain of wooded hills. The former shoemaker's community is located on the lower left bank of the Lower Rhine in the north-west of North Rhine-Westphalia and is a district municipality in the centre of the Kleve district. Around 8,568 inhabitants live in four districts over an area of 61 square kilometres: Uedem, Keppeln, Uedemerbruch and Uedemerfeld. The idyllic and wooded landscape makes Uedem an oasis of peace and tranquillity for residents and guests alike. Despite the peaceful surroundings, boredom is never an issue. Nature lovers will find a true paradise in Uedem. The Hochwald, one of the most beautiful hiking areas in the Lower Rhine region, stretches over an impressive 9.5 km² and is largely located in the municipality of Uedem. Smaller peripheral areas extend as far as the neighbouring towns of Xanten and Sonsbeck. With its old stands of trees, the Hochwald offers a unique natural experience. The forest area is criss-crossed by an extensive and well-developed network of hiking trails. Thanks to its convenient transport links to the 57 motorway, the municipality is very popular both as a place to live and as a business location.
