Northrhine-Westfalia: a mixed area

Northrhine-Westfalia is the federal country with most inhabitants in Germny. From the area where I come from (around Mönchengladbach) you can reach 10 Million people within one hour - I think that's unique in Europe. In about three hours you are at the North Sea in the Netherlands.
Big cities, smalltowns, just nature; skiing in the hills of the Sauerland or in the hall in Neuss; shopping in the Ruhrgebiet, Düsseldorf or Cologne or silence and contemplation in a cloister; visiting a museum, a theatre or an old castle: Northrhine-Westfalia offers a lot for everyone. That's why I love (and miss) it.

Museums and castles

Schloss Moyland - castle and musuem of modern art

Northrhine-Westfalia offers a lot of culture.
