    The Klever Gate, an impressive three-story city gate from the 14th century, is a relic of the old city fortifications. Two round towers, the so-called owl towers, flank the first gate opening from the side facing away from the city. A bridge-like driveway, which used to be over the city moat, leads to the main gate.

    The square building was used for many purposes over the centuries; at times it served as a prison. Today holidaymakers can spend the night there. Once you climb the spiral stairs, you can enjoy beautiful views of the city.

      The Klever Tor with the sculpture of the pump neighborhood in front of it is probably one of the most beautiful highlights in Xanten, next to the cathedral of course.

        The double gate was built in 1393 as part of the medieval city fortifications Xantens. While other gates were demolished in the 19th century, the Klever Tor was preserved due to a decision of the city council. The upper parts of the towers have been restored - but the substructure of the gate is still original.

          beautiful city center that invites you to take a longer break. Unfortunately cycling is banned in the inner city area, but there are larger parking spaces with battery charging stations! :)

            Right off the bat, I don't know of any city gate that is bigger than the Klever Gate. Very beautiful and imposing.

              The Klever Tor, one of the landmarks of the cathedral city on the Lower Rhine, is the last surviving entrance to the medieval city fortifications, which have been in place since 1389.
              Two round towers, the so-called owl towers, stand on either side of the outer gate on the side facing away from the city. A bridge leads to the main gate.

                                The Xantener Bio-Mühle is a very special place. Thanks to the operator. You can not only buy delicious organic products in the shop, but also, for example, drink your non-alcoholic organic beer in the loungers in the adjacent park and watch the children play, the baker bake in the old, mobile outdoor oven or the jackdaws play practical jokes — Splendid.
