Wickrath Castle Park

Highlight • Historical Site

Wickrath Castle Park can be visited by bike, but only at walking pace, the paths are more intended for pedestrians. Nevertheless, it should be a little detour.

Niers Floodplains in Zoppenbroich Forest

Highlight • River

Basically, the cycle path is very nice, but at the moment (3/2022) major construction work is underway (renaturation Niers).

The Zoppenbroicher Park does not look very nice in parts at the moment (March 2022). Numerous construction sites, renaturation Niers, with several excavators and felled trees somewhat alleviate the enjoyment.

Rheydt Castle

Highlight • Castle

A tour of the castle complex is worthwhile, and a visit to the gastronomy that uses sustainably produced and healthy food is also recommended.
