A circular route full of surprises
The circular route through the Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park stretches over 6.4 kilometers and offers an easy hike that is only 50 meters in altitude. Despite its short distance, the path offers a variety of impressions, ranging from the industrial romance of the Ruhr area to natural landscapes.
The route: A walk through history
The path is characterized by impressive industrial buildings that are evidence of the region's industrial past. These buildings, although no longer in use, exude a morbid charm that transports visitors to another time. The contrast between the old industrial monuments and the natural sections of the path offers a unique experience.
Tips for your visit
Although the path is easy to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- It is recommended to visit the park on a weekday as it can be very busy on weekends.
