Graf-Recke Church Wittlaer

Highlight • Religious Site

The Graf-Recke Church in Wittlaer is centrally located in the village and blends harmoniously into the quiet, village-like surroundings. The simple, bright building appears rather reserved from the outside, but it is precisely this that gives it a special charm.

Haus Werth tow station

Highlight • Historical Site

"...Kaiserswerth was formerly a towing station with horse changing. Elector Carl Theodor had set up the station in 1775. As is well known, horses (and people!) pulled the ships upstream on long lines until motor shipping made this hard work unnecessary around the middle of the 19th century . So the "Towpath" continues from Kaiserswerth to Wittlaer. The beautiful half-timbered building "Haus Werth" was the home of the Wittlaer towing station. The barn and shed are no longer preserved. ..."

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.

Historic Old Town, Düsseldorf-Kaiserswerth

Highlight • Historical Site

Düsseldorf Kaiserswerth is located in the north of Düsseldorf, not far from the airport. The district goes back to a Benedictine monastery in the year 700, so it has been a few years under its belt. The old town is located directly on the Rhine and you can reach it very nicely via the Rhine bank cycle path. In the middle of the market square there is plenty of seating for the local restaurants and cafés when the weather is nice, so that you can enjoy a nice break here in peace. At the moment (as of May 2018), however, there is a fairly large construction site here.

The old town itself is relatively manageable. If you enter it from the Rhine and keep to the right, you will come directly to the biggest attraction: the Basilica of St. Suitbertus. The old church is really impressive.

Kaiserswerth has a really nice small town charm and is a really nice destination for your racing bike tour, not least because of its proximity to the Rhine! Here you can also polish up your cobblestone skills a bit. ;)
