„헤스발트“(종종 단순히 „헤스“라고 불림)는 Xanten-Birten에 있는 인기 있는 언덕이 많은 숲 지역입니다. 역사적인 하이킹 트레일로 유명하며 Sonsbecker Schweiz까지 뻗어 있고 제2차 세계 대전 당시의 이전 공군 탄약고(Muna) 유적을 품고 있습니다.

호수 위의 멋진 전망.

로마식 온천을 지나서.

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.

It's a bit tricky on a regular bike. But it's incredibly fast on asphalt. A fantastic bike path. Very smooth and with a beautiful view of the surroundings.

Freight loading on this line ceased in 1906. The railway line was abandoned in 1945 and never reopened. In 1991, the Uedem Local History and Tourist Association relocated several meters of track at the former Uedemerbruch and Uedemerfeld stops. In 1992, shelters were added to serve as rest areas for hikers and cyclists.

With a view of Xanten. Definitely worth a trip. But I just drove past.
