Rhine Promenade in the Lower Rhine

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

It's best to drive there on weekdays. When the weather is nice on weekends, it is super crowded and you have to restrict my view too much. Alternatively: Early in the morning. It works too.

Heltorf was first mentioned in the 11th century as the Helethorpe farm in the Kaiserswerth Abbey's register of rents.
Early owners were the Lords of Heldorp. Otto von Heldorp is already mentioned as the owner of Heltorf Castle in 1167.

Nice tour unfortunately between Ddorf Wittlaer Duisburg Mündelheim due to renovation work the dam is not passable and the signposted diversion is a disaster

Tours without a lot of altitude difference are especially fun with the bike - two moated castles Heltorf and Kalkum along the way near Ratingen were interesting today.

March 29, 2024,Rheintour & Schloss Kalkum

Today I left my hiking boots in the closet and switched to cycling, which was really worth it. The view of the Rhine, with the ships from all over the world, is always beautiful and means a piece of home to me. We then went back via Kaiserswerth and Kalkum Castle.
