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.

Unterbacher Lake Loop

Highlight • Trail

Lake Unterbach is located south of Düsseldorf and extends as far as Hilden. It is one of the region's most popular recreational areas and offers a wide range of opportunities for leisure, sports, and relaxation. The circular path around the lake is well-developed and ideal for hiking, walking, or jogging. Along the way, the surroundings alternate between forest, water, reed beds, and meadows – creating a very diverse landscape.

The spacious meadows surrounding the lake are particularly beautiful. In good weather, picnics, games, or simply relaxation are often held here. Many families bring blankets and games – badminton, Frisbee, or soccer are not uncommon. The lake is also a worthwhile destination for children: there are playgrounds, shallow shorelines, and plenty of space to run around.

The lake has two lidos (north and south shores) with sunbathing lawns, bathing areas, changing rooms, and restaurants. These are especially popular in summer, as are many for swimming, sailing, and stand-up paddling. There are also boat rentals, barbecue areas (some require reservations), and several places to stop for refreshments – from kiosks to restaurants.

The lake is very busy on weekends and during school holidays, especially in good weather. Those seeking peace and quiet should start as early as possible or visit on weekdays. Unterbacher See is also easily accessible by public transport or bike.

Seven Bridges Trail, Eller Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Through paths and bridges, you will walk through a wooded wetland with many swamps and ponds, home to all sorts of amphibians. A really nice section and definitely a great change at the gates of Dusseldorf.

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.
