    Between Siegburger Strasse and Nixenstr. there is a really beautiful footpath hidden away along the southern Düssel. It is in the middle of a densely built-up area, but you hardly notice it.
    The wooden bridge is one of the most beautiful Düssel crossings in the Düsseldorf city area.

      The Düssel is a small but historically and scenically significant river, which even gave its name to present-day Düsseldorf. It rises in the Bergisches Land near Wülfrath and flows into the Rhine after about 40 kilometers. Along its course, it passes through various city districts and green corridors, creating a surprisingly tranquil, natural atmosphere – despite its proximity to the city.

      Walking along the Düssel will experience a mixture of floodplains, small forests, meadows, and urban green spaces. Particularly beautiful are the sections where the Düssel flows freely and is surrounded by dense greenery. Small bridges and paths frequently lead directly to the water, and you can catch glimpses of the local wildlife – herons, ducks, and occasionally even kingfishers can be observed.

      The Düssel has been renaturalized in many places, bringing its natural character back to life. Especially in the southern Düsseldorf area – for example, in Eller, Vennhausen, or Gerresheim – you can enjoy a wonderfully relaxing stroll along the water, far from traffic. The paths along the Düssel are ideal for hiking, cycling, or jogging.

      Despite its rather modest size, the Düssel has plenty of charm. Those who pay attention will discover small loops, stream steps, quiet retreats along the banks, and enchanted clearings. Especially on warm days, the proximity to the water creates a pleasant microclimate—ideal for taking a break or quietly observing the surroundings.
