Free adventure for children: Discover NRW without a wallet!

Bielefeld, Deutschland - Summer, sun, good mood-the perfect time for family outings in North Rhine-Westphalia! Anyone who thinks that excursions have to be expensive is wrong. In NRW there are plenty of ways to enjoy nature with children without blowing up the budget.

What does the state have to offer? A variety of free activities that certainly inspire big and small explorers. A real highlight is the dino hunt in Barkhausen , where you can admire real dinosaur tracks from the forest 150 million years ago. Here the little ones can learn on an informative hiking trail and be amazed at the special history of our planet.

North Rhine-Westphalia is a real paradise for animal lovers. The region houses seven zoo and wild enclosures, all of which are accessible free of charge. The selection ranges from local animals to something exotic. The Tierpark Recklinghausen shows not only wild boars and deer, but even Chinese tree lanes! It is open every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and offers exciting insights into the animal world.

In Cologne, the Lindenthaler zoo , another free zoo, is waiting for you to be discovered. Here children donkeys, highland cattle and fantastic peacocks can watch. Opening times are daily from April to September from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., in the other months until 5 p.m.

In addition, the Kaisergarten in Oberhausen enchants on its 28 hectares with a colorful animal world that ranges from Nutrias to Luchsen. If you like fish and wild animals, you should pay a visit to the Heimat-animal park in Bielefeld , which extends over 16 hectares and houses more than 450 animals.

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. For example, the Biberpfade in Rüthen and barefoot paths in Neuss offers. These interactive circular paths make discovering a real adventure.

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.

If you prefer it calmer, you can stay in the many free gardens and parks around locks and monasteries and let your mind wander. These places also offer space for relaxation and exquisite views and are a wonderful addition to the adventures that NRW has to offer.

In summary, it can be said that North Rhine-Westphalia is a real treasure chest for families who are looking for free and exciting activities in nature. Whether zoo, natural playgrounds or adventure routes - there is something for everyone here. Pack the family, put on the backpacks and to new adventures!
