Highlight • Beach

You can sunbathe here undisturbed. But please do not go into the water. This is life-threatening.

Dog Beach Salmorth

Highlight • Beach

It is already a bit to walk from the car, but you will be rewarded with a very clean beach. The sand is bright, the water is clean. Ideal for any dog owner who wants to go somewhere without thought.

The pond is no longer in use and the railway bridge is also closed.. a nice trip beyond the water, now that you can no longer use the ferry. The walk goes over the dike in 3.5 kilometers.

A visit to the Rhine is always good for you🤗 ... Despite the drizzle 😅 ...
