A trip to the Rhine is always worthwhile and not only here in Benrath 🥰. In addition, there are some nice restaurants and excursion bars, from which you can have a very nice view of the Rhine.

When I first spotted the bicycle figures from a distance a long time ago... I thought what strange exercises the birds were doing there on the meadow...
Well done :-)

Nice, small tour that you can also do with a touring bike, an MTB is not required. On the way there are numerous opportunities for breaks (restaurants, beer gardens, ...). If you want, you can also pack a picnic basket, there are numerous small stretches of beach on the way, which also invite you to take a break.
A detour …
