Impressive castle. Worth taking a little detour. If you want to challenge yourself a little, you should not take the main access road, the Milchborntalweg, but the small and super steep side road, Am Milchbornsberg. Have fun! :)

I've never seen the castle from the inside, but I'm always happy when I pass it during the "Rund um Köln" cycle race, because then I know that the hardest mountain stage is over.

Lies anyway on the way, if you want to bypass the more busy streets in Bensberg ... and you can see the cathedral;)
