Grassy trails, green mountain landscapes and hilltop castles – you don't have to travel far to find beautiful hikes through idyllic scenery. In North Rhine-Westphalia, a variety of incredible hiking adventures awaits.

North Rhine-Westphalia is full of contrasts – and that's exactly what makes hiking here so special. The Eifelsteig trail leads across open plateaus, through quiet forests and over secluded moors – ideal for finding peace and quiet. The Rothaarsteig trail takes you over mountain ranges with sweeping views and ancient forests – perfect for those who like to spend longer on the trail. Both hiking trails have been named one of Germany’s top trails and have designated trekking sites. And then there's Essen, the big city in the Ruhr area, another perfect hiking destination: unexpectedly green, surprisingly quiet, and home to beautiful Lake Baldeney.

The hiking trails in this Collection lead through gorgeous river valleys, through old mining country and along panoramic paths, right through the heart of a region in transition. Three regions, three different characters – and each hike is an adventure in its own right.

Whether you're counting peaks on the Rothaarsteig, exploring the lake in Essen or diving into the countryside on the Eifelsteig, you’ll love hiking in North Rhine-Westphalia.
