    Hiking

    The origin of the name Schieten is not known exactly. A relationship is probably due to divorce, vagina = border. In addition to the Gemarkungsgrenze may also be meant a watershed.

    Hiking

    Through the Graefrath Heath, which is actually nothing more than a narrow strip of green in the Siefen of the Heider Bach, we climb up to the Graefrath light tower on the "Schieten".
    A wonderfully light architectural gem per se, the glass dome of the tower is now illuminated by the oblique sun and backpainted by mountains of clouds that are also illuminated.
