Coming from Kidney Court, having just escaped the deafening noise of the busy Kohlenstraße, behind the Evangelical Church and the community center the route climbs quite steeply up the Kressenberg. Suddenly calm returns and stimulating views across to the Isenberg across the landscape diagonal make it easier to overcome the incline.
Nevertheless, hikers should be careful: the rutted path indicates that MBers are very frequented.
I don't see a soul on a Saturday afternoon. The path through the high beech forest is extremely wide, comfortable and opens up again and again to large areas with beautiful trees.

May 2021: Oddly enough, the old beech trees on the slopes and on the Kressenberg, which are also characterized by an extremely gnarled substructure and daring branching, show a much healthier appearance; they stand lush green on the ridge, which, like its neighbor Isenberg, runs in a north-east-south-west direction.
Both mountain ridges owe much of their attraction to the evergreen Ilex, through which we finally roam down the valley, following a washed-out trail.

January 2022: Behind the evangelical church in Nierenhof, it then goes up the Kressenberg on the lozenge 7. Always a small challenge, as the path is badly damaged from the heavy use by the forest cyclists, notched and further washed out by the rain. Above me the ghostly forest of dead spruces as I cross the border between the administrative districts of Düsseldorf and Arnsberg. Püstig I sporadically remain with this ascent, which has it all.

I particularly enjoy the descent from Kressenberg through the holly-beech forest on the Raute7 to Nierenhof; I have climbed up this, my personal “horror mountain” all too often.
Today it’s downhill, but not quickly: the forest is swampy.
Although it is located at the top of Kressenberg, the forest path greets you with a deep, muddy mud fight; swamp holes, hidden under the carpet of leaves, are particularly surprising.
Even that is fun today, the weather is too good.
