The 3.4 km long and 6 m high city wall was built starting in 105 AD and featured a parapet walk or earthworks on its inner side. The top of the wall was crowned with battlements, and a double ditch ran along three sides of the fortifications, while only a simple V-shaped ditch existed on the harbor side. Nevertheless, the wall was primarily intended to demonstrate Roman power. The fortifications had a total of 22 towers and three impressive main gates with double passageways on the main roads: the North Gate (also known as the Burginatum Gate), the Maastor Gate, and the Vetera Gate. Since there was no main gate on the Rhine side, some of the towers, such as the Harbor Gate, the Molentor Gate, and the Small Harbor Gate, had simple passageways. Today, the eastern corner of the Roman city wall near the amphitheater, the North Gate, and the nine towers between the North Gate and the main entrance to the city center have been partially reconstructed. To create a continuous facade, the remaining spaces between the towers are planted with hedges. The city wall is to be gradually reconstructed and sections of it are now open to the public. The North Gate, also known as the Burginatium Gate, was the main northern gate leading towards the Roman fort of Burginatium (in Altkalkar). It was reconstructed to its full height. Like the other two main gates, it had a double passageway, was flanked by gate towers, and consisted of three stories. The gate is now open to the public and houses the exhibition "Death & Burial." The harbor of Roman Xanten was located at the Harbor Gate (or East Gate). This gate had a single passageway and is now open to the public. In front of the Molen Gate, which also had a single passageway, the Rhine harbor mole was located in Roman times. However, the Rhine silted up around 300 BC, necessitating the construction of a new mole further north. The gate tower is now open to the public and serves as the entrance to the Harbor Temple park.

A little bit of culture alongside hiking ;-)

The end of the tour from Schaephuysen to Aldekerk is missing. Approx. 4 km

I've been visiting here every now and then for several years.

A visit with children is always worthwhile ☠️👻

This café and beer garden is highly recommended. Delicious, hearty food, just as you'd expect from a farm. You can sit in the rustic dining room or in one of the two garden areas.

"The elongated cemetery along Breitenwegsallee, north of the village of Hoerstgen, with its only 29 preserved and east-facing graves dating from 1808 to 1936, covers an area of 1,887 square meters. The current entrance from Breitenwegsallee is most likely not the original one. Anyone entering this closed, historic cemetery with the location designation "Sittard" will immediately notice that a large number of graves and headstones, which cannot be identified today, have disappeared..."

What was that, "nothing could be heard except the rustling of leaves in the wind and the crunch of tires on the fine gravel." I love that sound...
