View of Vynen Harbor

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a particularly beautiful and easily manageable hike. It's even more fun with a dog. Many benches allow you to regain your strength often enough and always offer beautiful photos.

September 15, 2024,Xanten - rund um Nord- und Südsee

Today I was out and about in Xanten again. A walk around the North and South Seas is always nice. Sometimes you walk along the water the whole time. You often have a great view of the lake. You can take a break in the three harbors or on various benches and enjoy the view.

We set off from the harbor restaurant Plaza del Mar under overcast skies and walked along the South Sea towards Lüttingen. On the way you get information about the Lüttingen fishing hut, the flood of the century and the crash site WT366.

April 9, 2025,🥾🚲 warm laufen 🥾 Süd- und Nordsee in Xanten 🥾🤗

🥾🚲 Wow, it was chilly this morning, the only thing that helps is a walk to warm up.
It's a good thing we didn't leave the house until around noon. Arriving in Xanten by car, the ☁️ clouds slowly disappeared and the sun 🌞 warmed us 🥾🚲, making it much easier to enjoy the South and North Seas.
