The castle tower and the town gates, the history of the “Gangelter Muhrepenn” and the famous son of the town Gerhard Mercator still reflect the town’s medieval charm today. Particular highlights are the leisure centre with its information centre, heated open-air pool, mini golf and Kahnweiher pond, the cross-border Nature and Landscape Park Rodebach | Roode Beek, the game park and the steam-driven narrow-gauge railway, the “Selfkantbahn”. And last but not least: the cycle route hub with trails that lead seamlessly into the Netherlands and Belgium.
