Woodland Trails by the Racecourse

Highlight • Trail

You can run wonderfully past the trotting track. Sometimes you even have the choice between asphalt or natural paths. With the mud today, we were happy to have solid ground under our feet in between times.

Open Fields of Grafenberg

Highlight • Natural

Nice open area at a glider airfield. But the gravel on the trail is very large, making it uncomfortable to hike. No recommendation for bicycle tires either.

Aaper Wald Pond

Highlight • Lake

The Aaper Forest, part of the Düsseldorf city forest in the northeast of the city, was a royal protected forest in the Middle Ages. It was part of a large forest area that stretched between the Ruhr and the Düssel. Today it is a beautiful local recreation area with great paths and lots of greenery.

Aaper Heights Trail

Highlight • Trail

Nice circular route through the Aaper forest. In some places you have a fantastic view over Düsseldorf, with good visibility even to the Ruhr area.
You have to see the Frauensteine too.

Today we went to Düsseldorf into the Aaper Forest, past the glider airfield and the horse racing track. To my great joy, it even turned into a snow hike. 😀❄️☃️💙
