Krefeld, 2 hotels

At the gates to Krefeld lies the former Landesburg Linn, one of the oldest large castles in the Lower Rhine region. With its wide moat, the ring wall and a dungeon, the well-preserved historic old town of Linn and its castle always attract visitors. Visitors can also see the serenades and collection of historic, mechanical musical instruments. A highlight is the Flachsmarkt market that takes place around Whitsun, where you’ll see jugglers and knights, as well as historical crafts and art.

Extremely good! Krefeld Zoo attracts several thousand visitors every day to marvel at around 1,000 animals over 14 hectares. They include apes, big cats, species from the African Savannah and tropical birds. The zoo gives its visitors an authentic zoo experience and is committed to protecting nature and animals.
