The journey begins in Neandertal, which is famous for its wonderful architecture, nature, the discovery of the Neanderthal man and for its modern Neanderthal museum, which shows the history of humanity. Following this, you will take a walk through the old town of Mettmann, discovering the unique architecture with its historic half-timbered houses, typical slate roofs, and green shutters. Afterward, the trip continues back to Düsseldorf. There, you can enjoy the charm and architecture of the Rhine-adjacent neighborhoods of Oberkassel and the Düsseldorf Harbor.
