Orchard Meadows in Urdenbacher Kämpe

Highlight • Forest

We only do justice to the familiar beauty of the Urdenbacher Kämpe to a limited extent by not walking the idyllic meadow paths on the banks of the Rhine with our heavy luggage, but approaching the Urdenbach ferry at brisk pace on the asphalted diagonal across the green meadow landscape with many apple trees .

Rhine riverside at Benrath

Highlight • River

A trip to the Rhine is always worthwhile and not only here in Benrath 🥰. In addition, there are some nice restaurants and excursion bars, from which you can have a very nice view of the Rhine.

Benrath Palace

Highlight • Castle

Graceful castle with its wings in a beautifully landscaped park with a French garden, English garden, kitchen garden and parterre garden. The castle park is very nice to hike through with surprising views of the castle again and again.

Spiegelweiher (Reflecting Pond) at Benrath Palace

Highlight • Lake

The exterior architecture of Benrath Palace, with the main building and cavalier wings, is in a representative Baroque style, with the wings on the reception side comprising half of the circular castle pond. Like the elongated rectangular MIRROR WIRE on the garden side, it was designed to mirror the façades in the water. The entire water architecture is fed by the Itter.

Path Along the Rhine Riverbank

Highlight (Segment) • River

Beautiful path close to the Rhine, in 2018 you could even go far into the Rhine.

View of the Rhine and the Urdenbacher Kämpe

Highlight • Viewpoint

This vantage point not only offers a beautiful view of the Rhine, which everyone knows, but also of the Urdenbacher Kämpe, a special highlight.
With an area of 316 hectares, the Urdenbacher Kämpe is the largest nature reserve in Düsseldorf. It is a typical piece of old Lower Rhine cultural landscape with pollard willows, fruit trees and valuable wet meadows. The flowering fruit trees are particularly worth seeing.
Due to its supraregional importance, the Urdenbacher Kämpe was included in the European Natura 2000 protected area system and has enjoyed international protection ever since. In addition, the area, supplemented by the Garather Mühlenbach, is subject to the FFH guidelines. (FFH areas are areas that have been selected for the "Natura 2000" protected area system.)

It's actually always nice on the Rhine :) Depending on the water level, you have to adjust your path, but mostly everything is walkable.
