Short and wildAdventure for in between

Do you fancy a lot of adventure with little luggage? Little time-outs are waiting for you all over NRW, in the forest, on the heath and under the stars. You don't need a lot of preparation, because our tips for your next micro-adventure are designed for spontaneous use. Sometimes wild, sometimes historical and sometimes quite colourful. Ready to get going? You can choose between a hiking trail or cycle route, day trip or short trip, trekking site or glamping lodge. Either way: your next time-out is not far away!
