Along the wonderful Bierweg you will find Station D here, which will inform you about hop cultivation in idyllic Gassenhagen. Next door you will also find what is definitely the smallest hop-growing area in Germany - a little hops were planted to illustrate this.

In Gassenhagen, the information board "D" of the "BIERWEG (STREIFZUG #17)" provides information about hop cultivation. And to make the information clear, the hops climb up four meters next to the information board.
The 13.4 kilometer circular trail accompanies the hiker to the spring that supplies the water for the beer from Bielstein. The hiker learns that malt, which is obtained from barley, determines both the color and the full flavor of the beer, as well as the secrets of hops and yeast.
The seven richly illustrated information boards along the way also explain why Kölsch is brewed in the middle of the Bergisches Land. Along the way, hikers along the "Beer Trail" learn the difference between top-fermented and bottom-fermented beers, learn interesting facts about beers from all over the world and are amazed that even Kölsch and Altbier have something crucial in common.
