Knipprath Woods

Where today Knipprath Woods attracts nature lovers, a few hundred years ago the Rhine still flowed there. You can still see the old riverbed here and there when you go on a short or long walk.

If you walk quietly and pay attention, you can see hares, rabbits and even deer. Knipprath Woods is also popular with joggers, horseback riders and cyclists, who want to get fit and active in the fresh air. The length of the circular trail in Knipprath Woods (trail number A4) is 11 kilometers.

Getting fit and riding under treetops

There are a total of two fitness areas in Knipprath Woods, which can be visited free of charge all year round. These are located at the western edge of the woods and at the parking lot “An der Tongrube”. On these areas, athletes of all ages and fitness levels can find balancing beams, hanging stations, parallel bars and other fitness equipment.

The horse-riding trail in Knipprath Woods, which has been popular for many years, was also tackled in the fall of 2022. In some areas, the trail was widened, muddy spots repaired, and signage added at key locations.
