About Isselburg
Set on the banks of the River Issel, the town of Isselburg is just moments from Germany’s border with the Netherlands. A tranquil community which has long appealed to heritage aficionados and relaxed outdoorsy types, the town offers a good selection of accommodation options for visitors of all ages. The undeniable stand-out, however, is a superb moated castle — our Gurus’ top pick of the best places to stay in Isselburg.
Keen ramblers will find a plethora of idyllic trails in and around Isselburg. Many are also suitable for cyclists, with riverside paths, forested routes and old stretches of railway to discover. Pack a picnic and kick back in the sunshine during the summer months, or organise a boat or kayaking trip to explore the River Issel and its nearby tributaries. If you’re an avid golfer, the Wasserburg Golf Club is not to be missed!
Cultural highlights of the Isselburg area include the town’s historic churches. The red-brick Wassenburg Anholt Castle — both the best place to stay in Isselburg and its most famous landmark — boasts a very good museum. Admire porcelain, paintings and intricately woven tapestries before tucking into a generous lunch of gourmet specialities in the restaurant. This is a fascinating border region, and day trips to nearby towns and cities in both Germany and the Netherlands come highly recommended.
