The neanderland begins right outside the gates of the large metropolises on the Rhine and Ruhr and extends far into the Bergisches Land. The tourism region around the ten towns in the Mettmann district, each with their own special features and offerings, stands for adventure culture, tradition and joie de vivre. The focus is also on history, art and events as well as a huge range of sports and leisure opportunities.

As if made for an equally exciting and relaxing short break!
