Rees

The Rhine defines the setting of Rees — its broad course and protective dykes shape this small Lower Rhine town, where a riverside promenade follows the water through a level floodplain. Rees lies in the district of Kleve, near the Dutch border, and received its town rights in 1228; it is often described as the oldest town on the Lower Rhine. Parts of the historic fortifications and the town’s brick church architecture reflect a long past in this borderland region. Cycle routes beside the Rhine connect Rees with nearby settlements and open farmland. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Rees and the Lower Rhine.
