Duisburg

The rivers Rhine and Ruhr, the Rhine-Herne canal, one of the largest inland harbours in the world, the Six Lakes, Lake Toepper and Lake Uettelsheim... The list of all the waters which give Duisburg its maritime atmosphere could be extended at will. It’s no wonder that there is so much going on in and around the water in Duisburg. Regular tours of the harbour, two water-ski courses, boat hire facilities, several yachting and sailing clubs, countless angling clubs and the yachting marina in the inner harbour can easily mislead visitors into thinking that Duisburg is situated on the water’s edge and not inland.
