Düsseldorf in all its facets: This circular tour takes you around the entire city. Kilometer after kilometer, you'll discover different neighborhoods and landscapes – from the vibrant hustle and bustle of the Old Town to the expansive forests and nature reserves on the outskirts. And of course, one must-see – the Rhine.
You begin your grand Düsseldorf tour at Burgplatz, where the castle tower rises and the Rhine is already at your side. First, you'll head to the Media Harbor and then continue cycling south until you reach Benrath. Now you'll say goodbye to the Rhine for now, but don't worry, there are more waterways on the agenda. For example, you can make a wonderful stop at Unterbacher See.
The next part of the tour will be accompanied by extensive forests – you'll pass sections of the City Forest, the Wildlife Park, and the Aaper Forest. Meanwhile, you'll be heading north. Angermund is Düsseldorf's northernmost district. There, you can visit the castle park of Heltorf Castle on the weekend.
You'll soon have the Rhine at your side again, for example in historic Kaiserswerth with its imposing Imperial Palace. You'll then cross the Rhine by ferry and cycle back toward the city center on the left bank. With a view of the Düsseldorf skyline, you'll cross the Oberkassel Bridge – the final section will take you back to the starting point.

Personally, I found the routing …

Half of the route was unknown to me, but it is highly recommended. The area around the Grafenberg with its trotting track and lots of forest is very beautiful.
Until a few transfer pieces there were always streets with little traffic or suburban settlements.
I was able to do all of this …
