Orchard meadows in the Urdenbacher Kämpe

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

The Rhine is particularly undisturbed along the Urdenbacher Rheinauen: no town, factory or road nearby. It's rare to experience electricity so close to nature in the Rhineland.

Graceful castle with its wings in a beautifully landscaped park with a French garden, English garden, kitchen garden and parterre garden. The castle park is very nice to hike through with surprising views of the castle again and again.

Today to Düsseldorf... Urdenbacher Kämpe and Benrather Schloss, we liked both, but I think that spring would be the more exciting season, at least for the Urdenbacher Kämpe. Overall, it was varied and worth it.
