Who is wandering through the picturesque streets of old fortress city Grave feels the atmosphere of a rich history. The city has come into existance in 1140 when the landlord of that time built his castle on the shores of the Maas. Now beautiful housefronts are situated next to remarkable monuments, tight alleys and terraces. The turbulent history of Grave, also known as the most attacked city of Holland, is well seen in the city centre. Like for example the arsenal, the canons at the shore, the Hampoort, the punish horse and the historical city hall.
Also in the attractive outside region, the church villages Escharen, Gassel and Velp, are kept many historical tracks. Also you can hike or cycle in this area.
