Alder Swamp Forest (Eller Forst Nature Reserve)

Highlight • Forest

The Eller Forest was declared a nature reserve (NSG) as early as 1935, making it the oldest NSG in the city of Düsseldorf. What was a vast wetland hundreds of years ago is still home to a number of bird species that breed there. AAs a hiker you can go there through the beautiful forest area where you will find many bridges. From them you can throw great views of the wet meadows. A great natural area on the outskirts of Düsseldorf.

South Shore of Unterbacher Lake

Highlight • Lake

The circuit around the Unterbacher See is ideal for nature and sports enthusiasts. The fresh air and always a fantastic view ensure that the six kilometers fly by. The subsoil consists mostly of gravel and asphalt.
