Excursions in and around Düsseldorf and the surrounding region
Neandertal – a trip in to the history of humanity
The Neanderthal museum offers an exciting insight into 4 million years of the history of mankind. The development of humanity can be followed through a series of themed rooms and a time tunnel. www.neanderthal.de
Rhine Lignite Coalfield
The insatiable hunger for energy becomes more than evident on a tour through these mines: The Garzweiler open cast mine at Grevenbroich (an extremely colourful spectacle), Kaster near Bedburg and the Hambach open cast mine (at 400 metres deep the largest hole in the world). The Sophienhoehe manmade mountain offers a wonderful view of the lignite mining region.
Zons – A Trip into the Middle Ages
The old fortified customs house of Zons lies on the Rhine bank opposite Benrath Palace, and can be easily reached by ship. The fortified customs house incorporates Friedestrom castle, a closed city wall and St. Peter’s Tower. The Dutch style windmill is an unmistakable highlight. www.hvv-zons.de
Duisburg – Port and Zoo
Duisburg Port is the largest inland port in the world and it is certainly worth taking a trip around the harbour with the White Fleet (www.wf-duisburg.de). Duisburg Zoo’s dolphinarium is unique, the first in inland Europe. Visitors can marvel at six different species, including bottlenose dolphins and beluga whales. Another great place to visit is the Chinese Garden with its pandas. www.zoo-duisburg.de
