    Mountain biking

    The Hees area is wonderfully varied. There are sunken paths, remnants of coppice, old trees - both deciduous and coniferous -, viewpoints and idyllic ponds.

    Hiking

    The „Heeswald“ (often simply called „Die Hees“) is a popular, hilly forest area in Xanten-Birten. It is known for its historic hiking trails, extends to the Sonsbecker Schweiz, and holds the ruins of a former air force ammunition depot (Muna) from World War II.
