Discover Holthausen

Holthausen offers a range of starting points for planning a trip, from green spaces and outdoor activities to historic buildings. If you are looking for a hotel, you can choose your focus based on which of these themes you want to shape your time here: parkland, cycling and walking routes, or individual cultural sites.

Green Spaces and Outdoor Activities

Elbroichpark in Düsseldorf-Holthausen covers 14.6 hectares. Gentle valleys, low hills, and broad open areas shape its landscape; it also features a wooded area with mature trees and around 40 tree species. Its amenities go beyond natural features: there is a playground, a water playground, a skate hall, a play and picnic lawn, and a music pavilion. A dog exercise area is located near the skate hall.

Niederheider Wäldchen Recreation Park covers 230,000 square meters. Niederheider Wäldchen has a 1.5-kilometer circular walking trail that is also used as a fitness trail. The loop brings you back to your starting point and also serves as a fitness trail. Gutshof Niederheid is a listed historic farmstead whose origins can be traced back to the 13th century. The estate is also a children’s farm with a riding school.

Buildings and History

The “Holthausen Mission Cross” is a wayside cross made of light-colored sandstone and dates back to 1860. St. Joseph Holthausen is a Gothic cruciform church. The Mission Cross is notable for its material and date, while St. Joseph is distinguished by its Gothic architectural style and cruciform plan. Together, they offer examples of different forms of architectural heritage: a wayside cross and a church.

Routes and Getting Around

Elbroichpark can be reached on U-Bahn lines U74 and U77 at Holthausen station, and on bus route 789 at the Am Falder stop. The Tour D4 cycling route runs from Holthausen to Stockum. These details offer different points of reference for planning: the lines and stops describe how to get to Elbroichpark, while Tour D4 specifies the start and end points of a cycling route. Niederheider Wäldchen, by contrast, has a circular route with a specified distance.

Familienbad Niederheid is right next to the Sportpark Niederheid sports complex. It offers activities for seniors, children, babies, and participants in aqua fitness classes. As the activities may change, check what is currently available before your visit.
