Rees: Rhein River
Rees is a small historic town in western Germany, located near the Dutch border in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It stands directly on the banks of the Rhine River, one of Europe's most important waterways. Rees is known for its preserved medieval center, old city walls, and a riverside promenade that attracts walkers and cyclists. The Rhine has shaped the town's history, supporting trade, fishing, and transport for centuries. Today, large cargo ships and cruise vessels regularly pass by, linking the region with cities like Cologne and Rotterdam. The combination of historic architecture and the wide flowing river makes Rees a quiet but charming destination along the Lower Rhine.
Cam 1/Cam 2
The first webcam shows the Rhine at kilometer 837.40, filmed from the water level tower on the Rhine promenade. From this elevated position, the camera faces toward Wesel, capturing passing cargo ships, river cruise vessels, and changing water levels throughout the day. The second webcam is installed at the same promenade location but points in the opposite direction, toward Emmerich, offering a different perspective of the wide river and its steady traffic. Together, these two angles provide a continuous look at activity along one of Europe's busiest waterways.
