Hiking

A historic survey marker directly on the banks of the Rhine. The myriameter stone marks a distance of ten kilometers (one myriameter) and is one of the old survey stones placed along the Rhine to take precise measurements for maps and hydraulic engineering. Today, it is an interesting relic from the time of river regulation and an exciting landmark for hikers. From here, there is a sweeping view of the Rhine and the adjacent floodplain – a place where history and nature intertwine.

In 1867 the Central Commission decided to set marking stones, so-called myriameter stones, to mark the measurement results. The stones were made of Ibbenbürener sandstone with the approximate dimensions 120 × 50 × 50 cm and ended in a flat, four-sided pyramid. All four sides were labeled. The side of the Rhine bears the number of the stone in Roman numerals.
