Day 2

Deeper Into Moers

Morning
Schloss Moers

A moated castle with a small park and free access to the outer grounds and courtyard. The interior houses a library and event space, but you can walk the grounds and see the moat for nothing.

🕐 Grounds open daily 8am–8pm; castle interior closed to public unless event

💡 The castle park has a good playground for kids and benches to sit with a coffee from the nearby bakery.

Midday
Rheinpreußen-Halde (Halden-Tour)

A man-made hill from coal mining spoil, now a park with paths and panoramic views over the Ruhr region. The climb takes 15-20 minutes.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 Go at sunset for the best light over the gasometer. The path is gravel so wear sturdy shoes. Free parking at the base on Haldenweg.

Local history museum in the old town. Covers mining, textile industry and daily life in Moers. Small entry fee of €3 for adults, under-18s free.
