Vorster Forest

Highlight • Forest

One of the most popular jogging routes in the Kaarst urban area leads through the Vorster Forest. There is a lot of activity there, especially in the early evening. The forest provides shade and protection from wind and light rain. The forest floor is gentle on the joints.

Nordkanal

Highlight • River

You can ride a bike along the north canal (cycle path north of the canal) or go hiking or walking in the neighboring Vorster forest (south of the canal). The marked point with the bridge over the North Canal is a good connection between Kaarster See and Vorster Wald for a hike that includes both areas.

The North Canal (French "Grand Canal du Nord") is a project initiated by Napoléon in 1806 to build a waterway between the seaport of Antwerp, the Maas and the Rhine. Only sections of the canal from Neuss to Neersen (in North Rhine-Westphalia) and from Nederweert to Beringe / Helden (in the Netherlands, called Noordervaart there) were built.

Traffic Light Nest Box Art Installation

Highlight • Monument

The traffic light used to regulate the traffic, today it is a work of art and at the same time an apartment for songbirds. What the Düsseldorf artist Till Hausmann placed as a traffic light box on a concrete pillar is a so-called ready-made.

A ready-made is an object found in everyday life that becomes an object of art through a new interpretation or type of use. At Till Hausmann, the former traffic light was gutted, the openings for the red, yellow and green signal lights were made smaller and the housing was painted red: the traffic light box is ready.
