A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
One of Germany’s oldest cities following Trier, Neuss originated from the Roman encampment Novaesium on the left bank of the Rhine in 16 BC. Artifacts from the city’s initial years are displayed at the Clemens Sels Museum, which also boasts an impressive collection of artwork from the 19th and 20th centuries.
The easternmost location on the Ruhr’s Industrial Heritage Trail, Hamm is a tranquil town, formerly centered around coal mining, which has now transitioned to manufacturing and logistics. Unlike many cities in the Ruhr area established in the 19th century, Hamm traces its origins back to the 13th century and was a member of the influential Hanseatic League of trading cities in the 15th century.
