Loop
Beautiful loop along the Rhine in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia.
This route along the Rhine leads through the Düsseldorf harbor, past exciting architecture. Internationally renowned architects have ensured that the former commercial port has become a promenade with a special architectural experience.
Past the NRW state parliament, through the industrial harbor, past the Lausward and Paradiesstrand, an original island separated from the Düsseldorf district of Bilk by an arm of the Altrhein and, until the construction of the Düsseldorf harbor at the end of the 19th century, a piece of wasteland rich in species that was entered at most by anglers and hunters. Today, the largest power plant in the area is located there. From there, the tour continues along the Rhine to Cecilienallee.
Highlights:
- Exciting architecture
