Field Trip to Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord

The Landscape Park ("Landschaftspark") Duisburg-Nord is one of the most popular natural and cultural landscapes in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is an excellent example of Active Spaces, a place to get moving that was formerly not intended - todays focus lies on leisure, recreation and sport. The park is perfectly set up to be discovered by bike or on foot. It also offers exceptional opportunities for climbing, active play on playgrounds and even scuba diving. And it doesn’t stop there – it is also a great venue for Senior and Youth performance sports as it can be transformed into a unique sport event set up.

On this tour you’ll be exploring the interplay between the history of the ironworks on the one hand and a bustling place for cultural and sports on the other.

It has more than 10,000 members and its sport venues include 25 and 50 metres swimming pools, a teaching pool, fitness center, and spa area as well as conference rooms.
