Deeper Into 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.
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.

Final Favourites & Departure
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.
💡 The old pharmacy room upstairs is the best bit — preserved glass bottles and herb smells. Takes about 45 minutes to see properly.

Getting Around Moers
Buy a single ticket at the airport DB machine or via app — avoids queue at counter. Change at Duisburg Hbf if direct RE5 isn't running.
Exit at Rheinkamp Mitte, walk 5 minutes east along Kopernikusstraße — no direct stop at the house. Grab a 24-hour VRR ticket (€6.30) if you plan multiple local trips.
Take tram 903 from Duisburg Hbf to König-Heinrich-Platz, then bus 911 to Rheinkamp Mitte. Cheaper than a direct DB train — valid all day as a single through fare. Avoid after 22:00 when buses drop to hourly.
Pre-book with Taxi Moers (02841 91000) for a fixed price — especially late evening when trains thin out.
