Geographically, Kaarst is located between the cities of Düsseldorf and Cologne, making it an ideal starting point for day trips to the surrounding area. However, the town itself also offers many special features such as a beautiful natural landscape with numerous lakes and forests as well as historic buildings and cultural highlights.

For history lovers, Kaarst's Old Cemetery is a must. Here you will find gravestones from the 18th century as well as several monuments to important personalities in the town's history. Another highlight is Büttgen Castle, which is now used as an event venue.

Kaarst also has a lot to offer in terms of culinary delights: Be sure to try the regional specialities such as Rievkooche (potato pancakes) or Himmel un Ääd (heaven and earth). The old town also has many cosy restaurants and cafés to linger in.

Outdoor activities are also very popular in Kaarst - especially in summer you can go hiking, cycling or relax at the bathing lake. In winter, a visit to the ice rink at the top of the town hall is worthwhile.

Rainless days don't have to be boring - instead, visit the Haus Lange/Haus Esters museum in Krefeld or enjoy a day at the thermal baths in neighbouring Neuss.

Where is Kaarst at its best? That depends on your interests. For nature lovers, we recommend a walk through the Kaarster See Park or a bike ride along the Niers. Those interested in culture should visit Büttgen Castle and the historic old town.

Kaarst, Rhein-Kreis Neuss - a destination that is definitely worth a trip!
