The Neandertal is one of the most famous places in the world and is therefore a destination for numerous visitors. In addition to the discovery of the Neanderthal man 160 years ago and the associated importance of human history, it is also a destination for nature lovers and hikers today. The Neanderthal Museum, the site of the Neanderthals and the Ice Age game reserve near the Düssel are ideal for a day trip.
