Goch

Goch is known across the Lower Rhine for Museum Goch, devoted to modern and contemporary art. The town stands on the Niers, in the flat, river-shaped country of north-western North Rhine-Westphalia, close to the Dutch border. Its compact centre retains the Steintor, a surviving medieval town gate that recalls Goch’s former fortifications. The parish church of St Maria Magdalena is another longstanding focal point, while the surrounding Lower Rhine is threaded with cycling routes through fields and small settlements. Goch suits travellers exploring the quieter German-Dutch borderland rather than the Rhine’s larger cities. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Goch and the Lower Rhine.
