The path leads idyllically, especially on hot days, also very shady through the Angertal and repeatedly directly along the Angebach, where you can enjoy the rushing of the stream.

October 19, 2023,Angerbach – Runde von "Kuckuck" Kreuz Ratingen Ost mit Eva
Very nice hike through the Angertal. We enjoyed it. Parking is a bit problematic because there is no parking space there. We parked in front of the houses. It's a bit tight. Otherwise top.

Today I went on the Ratingen circular trail A9 in dry, sunny weather (although I did wish I had gloves at one point). A bit too much asphalt at the beginning, but overall a lovely loop with a large portion along the Anger river :-)

Parked on a residential street and had a note on the windshield announcing that I had reported an administrative offense 😕

Parking this time: Dorfstr 71. It also goes around somewhere. 😉 It is much more beautiful now in spring than in autumn. A mostly idyllic route that is worth it.

Such a beautiful hike in the beautiful Angertal. A route that completely thrilled us. The first part leads along meadows and fields with great views. The second part leads along the Angerbach and offers the dogs water fun. The mood of the sky today also had a very special charm 😍
A very clear hiking recommendation from us 🥳🙌🥳

unfortunately far too much asphalt. If we hadn't ignored the no-passing ban at the bridge, this hike would have been a total failure.

Parking: Dorfstr. approx. No. 70, Ratingen-Homberg

A very nice route that starts with a view over fields, changes to forest paths along the meadow and leads back up to the fields at the end.

A lot of asphalt on the field paths. But that didn't bother me today because the view was wonderful. 😊
Suitable for wet weather, but of …
