Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Wesel-Flüren | Flürener Feld 1
The Rhine at Wesel is broad and powerful, the main artery of northwestern Europe, and in Roman times it was the frontier of the empire. The Lower German Limes, listed by UNESCO in 2021, ran along the river from the Alps to the North Sea, with forts, camps and watchtowers guarding the crossings. At Flüren, on the edge of Wesel, archaeologists have found traces of Roman activity on the Flürener Feld, probably a temporary camp or military installation linked to campaigns across the river into Germania. Nothing is visible on the surface, but the site sits on the edge of the Rhine plain, with the river and its floodplain stretching away to the horizon.

Wesel-Flüren | Flürener Feld 1 is where the day begins. Next is Uedem-Hochwald | Hochwald 7.2, 18 km on.
2. Uedem-Hochwald | Hochwald 7.2
The Hochwald, a low wooded ridge between Uedem, Xanten and Kalkar in the Lower Rhine region, hides the traces of Roman military camps, temporary enclosures where troops trained, camped or prepared for campaigns. Uedem-Hochwald 7.2 is one of these, and the camps are part of the Lower German Limes World Heritage Site, inscribed in 2021. The camps were discovered through aerial photography and laser scanning, and they show how intensively the Romans used this area near their great base at Xanten.

3. Till
The Lower Rhine around Kalkar and Kleve is wide, flat country: green polders, willows along drainage ditches, brick farmhouses and church spires visible for miles. Till is a small village here, part of Bedburg-Hau, just off the Rhine embankments between Kalkar and Kleve, with Emmerich across the river. It lies close to the line of the Roman frontier, the Lower German Limes, which followed the Rhine to the North Sea.
