An all-round relaxing form of sport – good for the figure and the cardiovascular system; the pulse is positively enhanced but not overly stressed. At the same time the body burns off fat – around 500 calories per hour. This is 250 more calories than just walking and 100 less than jogging. But it is also good for the mind and soul – those that are regularly active in the great outdoors are more balanced and work better under pressure.

Get into your Nordic Walking rhythm directly on the banks of the Rhine River, where you can enjoy walking up to 3 km north and south of the “Rheinturms” (Rhine Tower). A Nordic Walking tour will surely turn into an architectural tour of Düsseldorf. You will pass by the spectacular architecture of the Düsseldorf “Stadttor” (city gate), the “Rheinturm” (Rhine Tower), the building of the North Rhine-Westphalia Parliament, as well as the modern office towers of the architect Frank Gehry at the Media-Harbour ("Medienhafen”). Enjoy the view from all sides!

The Rhine River offers exciting adventure tracks along its route. Signposting and special track-logos offer reliable directions in and around the city. Along the track, special signs are posted describing the highlights and attractions of the surrounding area. Whether you walk on the right or left side of the Rhine, with up to 370 km of pathways, you can decide on your own walking tempo.
