adventure in nature
But not only the zoo are a hit. In the forests there are numerous forest adventure paths and barefoot paths on which children can not only play but also learn a lot about nature.

and cycling is not neglected either. Disappeared railway lines were converted into cycle paths so that the railway route is becoming increasingly popular. Routes like the Sauerlandradring or the Bergischer Panorama cycle path are not only scenic, but also ideal for an active day with the family.
