Legendary through Duisburg Forest: a walk full of myths and city history
This guided tour combines nature experience, local history, and vibrant storytelling into a special city tour in the green. On June 13, 2026, the free tour through Duisburg Forest invites you to rediscover old legends, historical traces, and mysterious places between the city and nature.
Myths that bring the forest to life
Duisburg Forest does not appear here as a mere backdrop, but as a narrative space with depth. The route leads to special places where stories of refuge, danger, robbers, dwarfs, and hidden treasures are told. This blend of legend and historical context makes the discovery experience so appealing: visitors experience how cultural heritage and natural space complement each other.
A walk that remains light-footed yet tells a lot
The plan is not for a long hike, but for a walk of about one and a half hours that is manageable without much effort. Weather-appropriate clothing and suitable footwear are recommended to keep the group relaxed during the journey. The format is ideal for guests looking for a short, varied, and professionally informative tour.
Historical anchor points between Holy Spring and Corputius
Highlights include the Holy Spring, whose surroundings are connected with prehistoric finds. The view of the Teutoburg Forest on Johannes Corputius’ city map also opens an exciting perspective on Duisburg's historical topography. The tour thus combines nature observation, map history, and urban archaeology into a vibrant cultural historical exploration.
