Oberkassel Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Oberkassel Bridge is the oldest of Düsseldorf's many bridges. A historic highlight: In 1976, the bridge was relocated 47.5 meters downstream, weighing 12,500 tons. Its current position certainly makes for spectacular shots of the city center.

View of Düsseldorf skyline from Rheinkniebrücke

Highlight • Viewpoint

The bank of the Rhine on the Oberkassel-Rhine side is really magnificent. This is where the rich and famous call home. But don't worry, you won't see them. ;)

December 23, 2021,Düsseldorf Tour am Rhein

Yesterday's tour before Christmas was doing really well again. Little going on on the tour and just enjoy the fresh and cold air on the Rhine to the full. Clear your mind after your work is done.

Who knows that too? Actually no desire to be active in sports, although you know that a bit of exercise is best to clear your head. Under the title #DUSshorties I would like to collect short tours under 1.5 hours - above all for myself :). The focus is not on taking as many sights as possible with you, but …

After a day of sitting at work, I spontaneously felt like going for an evening bike ride along the Rhine. The sections on the left and right banks of the Rhine up to the airport bridge were wonderfully secluded, you could see the red setting sun.

An average speed of 24 km/h on a Dutch bike, including city traffic... - that was …
