Il Lower Rhine is a small tourist eldorado unknown to most, which, especially in the beautiful season, can become a valid alternative to traditional holiday destinations. The strip of land nestled in the heart of Europe, which includes, in German territory, the North Rhine-Westphalia region and, in Dutch territory, the northern and central part of Limburg, the province of Gelderland and part of northern Brabant.
An area far from mass tourism circuits but unexpectedly rich in cultural and recreational attractions; with respectable urban centers such as Duisburg and Krefeld in Germany or Nijmegen, Arnhem and Den Bosch in the Netherlands. The historical, architectural and natural heritage of the Lower Rhine is also rich and diverse, with archaeological evidence dating back to the Stone Age; monumental treasures ranging from Romanesque to Baroque; natural areas shaped by vast forests, crystal-clear lakes, incredible river dunes, natural reserves with trails to be explored on foot or on horseback.
And then the great rivers, such as the Rhine, the Maas and the Waal, all navigable and to be explored necessarily by boat, to not miss the unique landscapes of the shores and the vibrant life of the ports. In Den Bosch, it is also possible to take a guided boat tour of the historic center.
