Best moderate trails in Leverkusen

The name of the idyllic fruit path says it all - it starts at NaturGut Ophoven and it goes through open terrain and past many fruit trees. Again and again there are information boards that explain the goal of preserving the ever rarer orchards. You can stop in the Claashäuschen and, if you want, shorten the route.

Especially in the nature reserve on Hornpottweg you can watch birds and other wild animals great. You shouldn't miss the water buffalo and cattle in the old gravel pit, which can be watched but not fed. Dogs must be kept on a leash in the entire nature reserve.
