If someone is in the Krefeld area, they should definitely make a detour to Linn. Very beautiful and, above all, old, well-preserved buildings, you can't see enough of them. The various restaurants are also not to be scorned. A walk around the castle without a bike should also be done. Pure peace.

After-work walks in Krefeld - searched and found Tour 1 - Nature and History You can easily reach Linn Castle by public transport. Please note the opening hours. Afterwards, take a leisurely stroll through Linn's historic old town, where you'll find charming courtyards. Finally, head to the "In der Elt" nature reserve. Small but lovely. Unfortunately, not all the ditches are filled. My exploration at kilometer 4.6 revealed that I didn't like it there 😝. Turn around and head back to the nature reserve.

The former Electorate of Cologne's bailiff resided here; Linn has long been a district of Krefeld; but it has preserved its historical core well.

A nice way to avoid the main road, which offers a pleasant cooling off in the summer.
