Old quarry

Highlight • Lake

The former Duisburg quarry is a small pond in the forest, which is surrounded by sometimes steep stone walls. Sandstone was already the building material for the city in the Middle Ages. The last paving stones were hit in the middle of the 19th century, since then the hole has been filled with water.

Springs at Tannenstraße

Not so frequented nice flat stretch through the forest.
The only thing that bothers are the driving noise of the nearby motorway.

Bissingheimer Wäldchen Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

"On the city limits of Mülheim located forest with approx. 9.29 hectares, which as the westernmost part of the large Duisburg-Mülheim forest borders on railway grounds and settlements and is separated from the actual Duisburg-Mülheim forest by the A3 motorway.

It is a lowland area with quarry forest aspects that merge into birch-oak forest areas in drier sections, partly mixed with beeches in the south. The herb layer is characteristically dominated by ferns, especially bracken, and blackberries. Young wood, including maple, is quite dense in places. The quarry forest areas - already existing birch quarry sections and wet areas that are still developing, partly with dominant black alder - have previously become drier due to decades of drainage and are now rewetted by means of water accumulation, as a result of which the quarry forest vegetation spreads more strongly again.

An important structure of the area also consists of bomb craters, which have developed into forest ponds, and sometimes also into rivers. The central area consists of an extremely wet birch quarry with an extensive layer of peat moss, which emphasizes the area's particular need for protection. The rare and endangered forest vegetation and flora is well developed here and is in the process of further development, since drainage ditches have been deactivated by nature conservation measures.

The area is of great importance as a habitat for endangered plant and animal species. As part of the biotope network, the area is of outstanding importance as a stepping stone biotope. "

Entenfang Lake Beach

Highlight • Beach

Kiosk closed on Tuesdays, but was still very relaxed on Tuesday for sitting on wooden benches and at tables, ideal for a picnic in the shade.

Duisburg City Forest

Highlight • Forest

There are beautiful long ascents and descents on the first meters of the tour. Nevertheless, you shouldn't tackle it too quickly to be able to enjoy the surroundings and you will still need the strength on the total of over 8 kilometers.
