Düssel

Can you hear the gentle murmur of the water? That's the Düssel, gracefully splitting into four branches as it flows into the Rhine right here in Düsseldorf. Look to your left, and you'll see one of those branches winding through the landscape. Did you know the city got its name from this very river? Long ago, this area was a collection of small villages, and the river was a vital lifeline. As you visit the nearby Botanical Garden, imagine how this waterway has shaped life and nature here for centuries. Take a deep breath and enjoy the calmness this piece of nature brings to the city.
