Discover Duisburg at its “coolest”—where creativity shapes the neighborhood, nature takes over the city, and trends blend with tradition. The trail is the destination. And it takes you through vibrant Duisburg, amid industrial history, contemporary art, and trendy neighborhoods. City hiking. Instead of hiking.

The Urban.Trail Duisburg starts at the east exit of the main train station and first takes you through the lush Goerdeler Park—a chance to catch your breath before heading into the lively Duissern neighborhood. Here, Duisburg’s more leisurely side comes to life with numerous cafés and restaurants, before you reach the Bunkerbude refreshment stand. The trail continues uphill to the Kaiserberg, one of Duisburg’s few natural elevations at 78 meters, where the forest meets the city skyline.

After the descent, the route takes you through an allotment garden community to the Inner Harbor, Duisburg’s flagship project for structural change. Here you’ll find the impressive Küppersmühle Museum, a treasure trove of postwar German art, and the Garden of Remembrance, a walk-through artwork by Dani Karavan right on the harbor basin. Via the lively Wallstraße with its diverse dining scene, you’ll reach the Dellviertel neighborhood with its centrally located Dellplatz. The route then takes you through the neighborhood to the Lehmbruck Museum in the heart of Immanuel Kant Park before returning to the main train station.
