Kaiserswerth Old Town and Rhine Riverside Promenade

Highlight • Settlement

In the north of Düsseldorf lies Kaiserswerth, one of the most beautiful and richest districts of the Rhine metropolis. Here you can take a relaxed stroll, enjoy the culinary delicacies of the Rhenish cuisine and, above all, the historical ambience. Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa had a powerful fortress built here. The remains of the Imperial Palace can still be visited today.

Kaiserswerth Imperial Palace

Highlight • Historical Site

Directly on the banks of the Rhine rise the picturesque ruins of the Imperial Palace of the legendary Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. The palace, originally dating back to the 10th century, was expanded under Emperor Henry III and later by Emperor Barbarossa after he relocated the Rhine toll from the Netherlands to Kaiserswerth, as he needed a fortress dominating the Rhine.

The location for the palace was well chosen. Because the Rhine forms a gentle curve here, it can be clearly seen over a long stretch. Even today, the castle complex consists of imposing walls up to four and a half meters thick. The idyllic castle path offers a magnificent view of the palace.

Rhein Dike near Düsseldorf

Highlight • Trail

For long stretches you can cycle on the beautiful singletrack along the Rhine. Ideal for Mtb. At weekends, however, many pedestrians. When mowing was not recommended. Otherwise the straws from the pinions have to be tediously pulled ...

Historic Swing Bridge Krefeld-Linn

Highlight • Bridge

Here you drive over a historical bridge that is operated by people. It takes a while for it to spin and adjust everything manually, but it's very interesting to have seen.

Tour with obstacles: we cycled over the dyke; but to get to the Krefeld-Uerdinger Bridge, you had to climb stairs, which wasn't bad. It was bad that in the end there was a crash barrier 🚧 and we had to carry the bikes over it: nothing for e-bikers. Then the rain came 🌧️; but with the rain came love @Silvia …
