The slightly hilly landscape on Wolfsberg shows a picturesque picture of fields and forests on the Lower Rhine, which, like almost everywhere in the region, is slightly affected by wind turbines, high-voltage lines, etc. Nevertheless, it is nice to hike and slow down here.

The GeoPfad is a joint project of the GeoParks Ruhrgebiet e.V. and the city of Krefeld supported by the Hüls local history association. It was supported with funds from the Rhineland Regional Association (LVR). https://www.krefeld.de/de/content/neuer-geopfad-im-huelser-bruch-mit-radroute-und-wanderweg-eroeffnet/ https://www.geopark.ruhr/standorte/geopfade/geopfad-huelser-berg/
