October 20, 2024,🇩🇪 Von Zons zum Benrather Schloß

Today we went for a walk along the Rhine. We started in the historic town of Zons. After a short walk, we took the Rhine ferry across to the Urbacher Kämpe. This natural area was once an arm of the Rhine. Old trees, orchards and lots of nature are at home here. But we chose the short route towards Benrath …

Used this wonderful Sunday weather to walk through the Urdenbacher Kämpe to Benrath Castle. Others probably had the same idea today. I have never seen such a rush at the ferry before. Ice cream in Zons was also canceled due to the long queue.

In glorious weather, we headed to Düsseldorf-Benrath today to discover—as a Cologne fan, it's hard to say it out loud—a truly beautiful corner of Düsseldorf. In the end, we still had to decide whether to visit the castle or have a coffee... 😅🤓☕🍰

Now along the water and the Rhine floodplains to Benrath Palace and the beautifully landscaped palace park. From there almost exactly the same way back, although the …
