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.

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 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. 😀❄️☃️💙
