Bedburg-Hau: Indoor swimming pool, Voltaire Trail and nature east of the town

When planning your trip to Bedburg-Hau, you can take different interests into account: the BedburgerNass indoor swimming pool, the Voltaire Trail and the Moyländer Bruch nature reserve east of the town. Whether an indoor swimming pool, a named walking route or a nature area shapes your stay depends on your planned itinerary.

Indoor swimming pool and activities for children

BedburgerNass is an indoor swimming pool with a 25 × 10 metre swimming pool and an 8 × 10 metre non-swimmers’ pool. Both pools are ten metres wide; the swimming pool is longer. For children, there is the small Nasselino elephant slide. During school holidays, a children’s play afternoon takes place on Fridays from 3 to 5 p.m. When planning, it is worth distinguishing between the two activities for children: the slide is part of the pool, while the play afternoon is tied to school holidays and a specific day of the week. Check the latest operating information before visiting, and look for current notices about dates for the play afternoon.

The Voltaire Trail

The Voltaire Trail runs from Bedburg-Hau to Kleve and is about six kilometres long. Along the Voltaire Trail, the route leads from Moyland Castle to Papenberg. This gives you both an approximate length and several named locations to help you get your bearings. If walking is one of your travel interests, you can use this information as a starting point for your plans.

Nature east of Bedburg-Hau

The Moyländer Bruch nature reserve lies east of Bedburg-Hau. Its habitats include species-rich alder carrs, reed beds, wet grassland and small bodies of water. The area offers a different landscape focus from the indoor swimming pool or the Voltaire Trail: here, the emphasis is on woodland, reed beds, grassland and water. This gives nature-minded travellers a distinct theme to consider when choosing a destination.

Kleve district: cycling routes, landscapes and traditions

When considering the broader destination of Kleve, planning also extends to the district level. Kleve district has more than 1,500 kilometres of cycle routes and numerous themed routes. A pocket guide, when unfolded, shows all the junctions in Kleve district and includes helpful information about how the district-wide junction system works. This district-wide overview is a different approach from looking at an individual route such as the Voltaire Trail.

Another cycling route in the broader destination of Kleve is the signposted Niers Cycle Route, which is 128 kilometres long. It runs from the source of the Niers in Mönchengladbach through Viersen and Kleve districts to the municipality of Gennep in the Netherlands. In terms of length, it is considerably longer than the approximately six-kilometre Voltaire Trail; the figures represent very different route scales. Kleve district also includes varied landscapes, with picturesque riverbanks, green meadows and extensive forests.

Local traditions and regional experiences are also among the themes in Kleve district. These include marksmen’s festivals, carnival and funfairs; dates vary from one event to another. If a particular festival is important to your trip, check its date in advance. Farm cafés in Kleve district invite you to experience the freshness of produce directly from the producer. This allows you to factor cultural and culinary interests into your plans alongside cycling routes and landscapes.
