Tips from the Community

Tour 3 of 3 - Nature reserve and industry The Krefeld-Uerdingen train station is easily accessible by public transport. After just a few minutes, you have the opportunity to stroll through a cozy pedestrian zone (Niederstraße). This is followed by a few meters along the industry, with a view of the technology and the Rhine. After about 40 minutes, you enter the Roos (Rhine oxbow lakes) and the Rheinaue Friemersheim nature reserve. I made a detour to St. Matthias shortly before. From Rheinhausen, you can then relax back with public transport.

A place to linger, to rest or to reflect within sight of Uerdingen.

A "green belt" in the truest sense of the word, but only for walking.

In front of the church, under ancient linden trees, there is a lovely shady spot for a rest. Alternatively, there are several sunlit benches on the dyke itself.
