Info on game area, route and experience in Erkrath.
Erkrath, in North Rhine-Westphalia’s Mettmann district east of Düsseldorf, is noted for its green setting and archaeological importance. Bordering the famed Neander Valley, it is closely tied to early human history; the state-of-the-art Neanderthal Museum tells the story of Neanderthals and human evolution and sits amid idyllic walking paths through the valley. Erkrath’s districts—Alt-Erkrath, Hochdahl, and Unterfeldhaus—offer shopping, dining, and a mix of historic and modern architecture. The Hochdahl market is a popular meeting point, and festivals like the city fair bring the community together. Green spaces abound: Hochdahl Forest and Lake Unterbach provide hiking, cycling, and water sports. On the edge of the Bergisches Land, Erkrath combines nature, history, and easy access to Düsseldorf.
