Elten, District in Emmerich am Rhein, Germany

The 82-meter-high Eltenberg mountain and St. Vitus Church define the district's landscape, while Niederelten features St. Martin's Church and Möllenbölt mill.

Initially founded as a noble women's convent in 973, Elten underwent Dutch administration from 1949 to 1963 before returning to German governance.

The district organizes annual festivals including the Midsummer Night celebration and November Light festival, drawing visitors from both Germany and Netherlands.

Visitors can access health facilities including a swimming pool, nature paths, Kneipp basins, outdoor fitness equipment, and an extensive network of hiking trails.

Behind St. Vitus Church stands the STEIN Gate with 6.8-meter granite wings framing the Rhine Valley view toward a 350-year-old Baroque garden obelisk.
