WALKING IN NEUSS

Located at the river Erft, a path of a few hundred metres long inspires visitors to walk barefoot for an entirely new experience. A rather unconventional way of taking a stroll, combining the phenomenon of wellbeing and walking. 

Following the invitation to remove shoes and socks leaves the weary to then walk over seventeen different surfaces. Gravel, mussel shells and stones, to name just a few examples, take turns with soft sand and soil to provide relaxation for “tired and spoiled city feet.”

Besides the unusual sensational experience, walking barefoot is said to be good for the circulation and muscles, thus contributing to an overall feeling of wellbeing. The barefoot path is located at the Berghäuschensweg in Neuss.

Discussions are currently ongoing to create a pathway that loops around Neuss following the footprint of the medieval walls. Meanwhile, enjoy the walkways along the canal, spaces near the Rhine and tracking down many ancient buildings in the city.
