For a city this size, Düsseldorf has a lot of castles nearby: 37 within 25 km, and not just Schloss Jägerhof at 1 km. Schloss Eller is 5.8 km out, Schloss Kalkum 9.1 km, Burg Linn 15.8 km and Schloss Dyck 17.9 km, with the Dycker Mühle from 1756 at 17.3 km. The Rheinturm, 1.4 km from the center, is the obvious viewpoint.
Windmills are the Lower Rhine's thing and 14 of them made the list, the Geismühle and the Teloy-Mühle included. Fewer people know about the 20 historic towers, from the Schlossturm on the riverbank to the Pfefferbüchse at 12.4 km. Reach one for the first time in RLQuest and it goes down as your first find.
Each hexagon covers a little over 5 square kilometers. The brighter it glows, the more places are inside it. The numbers mark the highlights listed below; the dot in the middle is the center of Düsseldorf.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
