Beautifully located in the valley, the Düssel flows directly past the mill pond. You can hardly miss the highlight and the adjoining Winkelsmühle on hikes in the area.

Meadow landscape in Neandertal

Highlight • Natural

There are several such meadow paths in the Neandertal. They are definitely attractive and offer an attractive contrast to the surrounding forest, especially when the weather is nice.

Heron Island Pond, Neandertal (Neander Valley)

Highlight • Lake

A worthwhile motif for a great photo at any time of the year ... Today (April 11th, 2020) the tree was covered with gray herons from top to bottom; they will probably build their nests there too ...

Trail along the Düssel in Neandertal

Highlight • Trail

The Neanderthal is always worth a hike, and not just because of the Neanderthal and bison. When the weather is nice, it is of course also heavily committed.
