View of Xanten Cathedral and Kriemhildmühle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The seating is very popular and you quickly get into conversation with the others.
Here on the dike there is always a slight breeze only in extreme heat lacking shade.
The view over the Rhine to Xanten is just beautiful.

Always nice: a short walk along the Rhine, then sitting in the sun (despite the strong wind) with coffee and cake.

Storm-tested, they've returned from the dike. The storks are already on their way south.
In photos 2 and 19, Xanten Cathedral can be seen in the distance.
