Duisburg by the Water

Duisburg lies where the Ruhr and the Rhine meet — and with duisport it holds the largest inland port in the world. This tour follows the water: from the playful Inner Harbour with its marina via the lake landscape of the Six Lakes to the broad Rhine promenade. To finish, the traditional Rhine ferry to Homberg. A day among boats, currents and lake views.

Best time to visit: May to September — in sunshine the water is at its best

Duisburg by the Water

Day 1

A day by the water

We follow the water through Duisburg: the marina at the Inner Harbour, the lakes in Wedau, the Rhine Park and a ferry ride across the Rhine.

  1. 9:30 - 11:00

    Marina and Inner Harbour

    Start at the marina in the Inner Harbour, where yachts and sports boats are moored. A loop around the harbour basin shows the successful transformation from grain port to waterfront quarter.

    The Six Lakes and the Masurensee

    On to the Six Lakes in Wedau. A loop around the Masurensee, past sailing boats and beach sections — Duisburg's blue lung.

  3. 13:00 - 14:15

    Lunch by the lake

  4. 14:45 - 16:15

    Rhine Park and Rhine promenade

  5. 16:45 - 18:00

    Rhine ferry to Homberg

    The traditional Rhine ferry connects the two banks. A short crossing with a view of the river, the harbour and the city's silhouette — pure Rhine romance.
