New vantage point, on the east bank, with a particularly wonderful view of Lake Unterbach. The "seats" were laid out in the style of a grandstand.

View of Unterbacher Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

Welcome to the Unterbacher See, your local recreation area near Düsseldorf, Erkrath and Hilden. Numerous sports and leisure activities, a 15 km long network of hiking and biking trails and a 2.5 km long lake with "excellent" water quality look forward to your visit. Spend your free time swimming, sailing or surfing.

Enjoy the wonderful view on the harbor terrace with restaurant and promenade in the north or in the beach café with floating lake terrace at the lido south. Simply treat yourself to the many cross-generational offers. You are very welcome in the high rope climbing garden, on the playgrounds and barbecue areas, at the kiosks and beer gardens. Or experience the most beautiful part of the year on our two campsites right on the lake

Up to eleven meters high, the various parcours of the climbing park lead through the tree piles on the shores of Lake Unterbacher See. Various zip lines and other obstacles ensure a sporting change that you can treat yourself to in the summer. In general, you can experience a lot here: Besides the high ropes course, you can also go archery, canoeing or participate in a raft building course. All information can be found here: hochseilgarten-duesseldorf.de/flossbau.html

Unterbacher Lake Loop

Highlight • Trail

Lake Unterbach is located south of Düsseldorf and extends as far as Hilden. It is one of the region's most popular recreational areas and offers a wide range of opportunities for leisure, sports, and relaxation. The circular path around the lake is well-developed and ideal for hiking, walking, or jogging. Along the way, the surroundings alternate between forest, water, reed beds, and meadows – creating a very diverse landscape.

The spacious meadows surrounding the lake are particularly beautiful. In good weather, picnics, games, or simply relaxation are often held here. Many families bring blankets and games – badminton, Frisbee, or soccer are not uncommon. The lake is also a worthwhile destination for children: there are playgrounds, shallow shorelines, and plenty of space to run around.

The lake has two lidos (north and south shores) with sunbathing lawns, bathing areas, changing rooms, and restaurants. These are especially popular in summer, as are many for swimming, sailing, and stand-up paddling. There are also boat rentals, barbecue areas (some require reservations), and several places to stop for refreshments – from kiosks to restaurants.

The lake is very busy on weekends and during school holidays, especially in good weather. Those seeking peace and quiet should start as early as possible or visit on weekdays. Unterbacher See is also easily accessible by public transport or bike.
