The wide open spaces 🌾 - Out and about on the Neanderlandsteig trail

Highlight • Viewpoint

"... The neanderland STEIG connects the natural beauties and sights of neanderland over around 240 kilometers and is part of Germany's important cultural tourism hiking trails.
Hiking enthusiasts can enjoy views and insights into the idyllic Niederberg landscape on the neanderland STEIG and experience the region as a green lung in the middle of the metropolitan areas between the Rhine and Ruhr. The 17 stages in total lead past bathing lakes, run through moors, heathland, extensive forests, pass local recreation areas and offer a natural opportunity to discover the Mettmann district as a hiking and holiday region.
The neanderland STEIG is also worth a visit from a cultural perspective. The sights along the way include museums, churches, historical and modern buildings as well as picturesque market squares and much more. In addition, your culinary requirements are not neglected either. ..."

Historic Old Town of Neviges

Highlight • Historical Site

"The historic old town center of Velbert-Neviges is just a short distance from the cathedral, with the tranquil circular town centered around the Protestant church. Visitors have the opportunity to stroll leisurely through the pedestrian zone with its colorful range of shopping and service options and at the same time look at impressive half-timbered houses as if from another time - an atmosphere that makes you feel good."

The Franciscan and Protestant discovery loop has a lot to offer despite its short length of just under 5 km. The beautiful views and the quaint old town of Velbert Neviges in particular make the tour highly recommended.
