Except for local bars and some shops or grocerie stores like the HL-Market,Niederwenigern itself does not provide lots of entertaining facilities. In the Fall, there is always a big "Kirmes", a celebration where artists gather and offer scooters, candystands and other amusing stuff, you`re probably used to seeing in a fun park. People from all around this area, that live in the surrounding cities or town, come together and enjoy the "Kirmes", that lasts about 3-4 days. Other things to do is definitely riding your bike on the several biketrails along the Ruhr river. On those, you can go far: All the way down the Ruhr river and even to the Rhine river.
