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.

Old railway. No longer in use.

Nice

A very beautiful cycle path along the Niers River. It can be muddy after prolonged rain.

In beautiful cycling weather, we took a bike tour along the Castles & Palaces Route on the Lower Rhine. The journey is well worth it for a day trip, so we grabbed our bikes and enjoyed the sunny day in the beautiful landscape. We discovered many sights along the way. I'll show you which moated castles typical of the Lower Rhine are located along the bike route. Learn how we took the ferry, where we discovered the Lower Rhine gold, and where pilgrims have been making pilgrimages for centuries: https://www.netreisetagebuch.de/burgen-und-schloesser-route/

The Lower Rhine Castles & Palaces Route runs for approximately 50 kilometers through the Lower Rhine plain. It connects the towns of Kevelaer, Weeze, Goch, and Geldern. True to its name, you'll pass numerous castles along the way. The first part of the cycle tour follows an idyllic path along the Niers River. Since a river doesn't flow in a circle, the second half of the circular tour mainly cycles through meadows and fields. But that's precisely what makes the Lower Rhine Castles & Palaces Route so diverse: https://www.netreisetagebuch.de/burgen-und-schloesser-route/

All in all, we really enjoyed the Castles & Palaces Route. It runs along varied paths through the beautiful landscape of the Lower Rhine. There's always something to discover and learn along the way. There are also numerous places to stop for refreshments and rest stops along the route, so you can take plenty of breaks. We can definitely recommend this bike tour with a clear conscience. We were particularly pleased to discover not only nature but also a piece of Lower Rhine history along the way.
