Duisburger Stadtwald, Urban forest in Duisburg, Germany

The Duisburg City Forest spans 2,300 hectares, featuring a network of trails through mature trees, wild boar enclosures, and natural springs across varied terrain.

The forest grounds contain geological layers from the Oligocene period, approximately 30 million years old, when the North Sea coast ran through present-day Duisburg.

The forest includes five sculptures by artist Regina Bartholme and incorporates sections of the historic pilgrimage route known as the Jakobsweg.

Visitors can access multiple parking areas or arrive via tram line 901 from Duisburg central station, with 300 kilometers of marked hiking trails throughout.

The forest floor preserves Ice Age deposits and flying sand formations, while archaeological discoveries include the 1934 finding of the Duisburg Sea Cow fossil.
