Düssel River in the Neander Valley

Highlight • River

Pleasantly quiet, not overcrowded (although the full parking lot sometimes suggests something else). A tour through the Neandertal is really relaxing for the eyes and ears ...

Trail along the Düssel in Neandertal

Highlight • Trail

The Neanderthal is always worth a hike, and not just because of the Neanderthal and bison. When the weather is nice, it is of course also heavily committed.

Heron Island Pond, Neandertal (Neander Valley)

Highlight • Lake

A worthwhile motif for a great photo at any time of the year ... Today (April 11th, 2020) the tree was covered with gray herons from top to bottom; they will probably build their nests there too ...
