Description
Hilden to Düsseldorf-Garath

We begin at Hülsenstraße in Hilden and walk south into the vast forest of Benrath (Forst Benrath). Here we frequently come across the “D” symbol, which indicates the Düsseldorfer Weg, a path that links the suburbs of the “Altbier” city on the right hand side of the Rhine (Rhein).

We walk briefly along an embankment beside the Itter, then return to the Garath municipal forest (Forst Garath).

The entire forest does not belong to the town; when we pass through a latticed gate we enter a private forest for a short time. No fear, it’s free entry!

A few kilometres later we walk round the Oerkhaussee with its new bird observation platform.

After some time on field tracks we dip into a small forest and delight in the wonderful narrow trails and pretty river paths. At the end of the stage we skirt a residential district, before reaching the finish at Garath Castle (Schloss Garath).

Safety instructions
