In Elk you will find two city beaches, both of them sandy, although in truth it will probably be difficult to find even a meter of free space in high season anyway. There is also a sizable park, several children's playgrounds and a bunch of playrooms. Elk also has an interesting museum, offering, among other things, a ride on a narrow-gauge train.
To get from or to Elk, you can use, for example, a bus. Sinbad coaches leave from Elk's PKS station, which is located right next to the railroad station. Therefore, if you happen to be going to Elk by train, but then want to change to another means of transport, the change itself will not take more than a few minutes.
In our opinion, however, it is worth reaching Elk by bus, because trains in high season can be overloaded with people heading to the Baltic cities.
The bus station in Elk, despite the fact that Google shows that it does not exist, still serves our buses. It may not be as impressive now as the Elk railroad station, but nevertheless our buses go to and from Elk from station one.
The bus station where our coaches stop is located on Hindenburgstrasse, not far from the main train station. It is actually the center of the city, so you will reach the nearest and one of the most important points of interest in the city, St. Vitus Basilica, on foot in twenty minutes.
On the other hand, heading north you will reach two parks, full of sculptures and installations, designed by some of Europe's greatest artists.
If you're a Borussia Moenchengladbach fan, but don't want to devote your trip solely to the match, consider visiting Skulpturpark Abteiberg or Bunter Garten, two gardens. In the latter you will also hit the botanical garden and arboretum.
The Abteiberg Museum, adjacent to the aforementioned St. Vitus Basilica, is also worthy of your attention. There, the works of Andy Warhol and Gerghard Richter await you.
The museum is a great place to visit.
Monchengladbach can furthermore be a base for exploring nearby larger cities such as Cologne and Düsseldorf. Accommodation in Monchengladbach should be slightly lower than in the state capital. In addition, Monchengladbach, through its proximity to the Belgian and Dutch borders, can be a stop on a trip specifically to the Benelux countries. Although, in our opinion, the number of attractions in the city makes Monchengladbach as a city able to fill a tourist's calendar for virtually a whole week.
