Wanderweg entlang der Dhünn

I hiked the Bergische Streifzug, which leads past it. And regardless of the fact that I don't think the forest is particularly wonderful, it is a very, in my opinion, unattractive path, as it is far too close to the busy main road.

Especially in the autumn and winter, a beautiful forest. When it is dry and sunny :-)

The Kermeter has a beautiful tree trail and an associated climbing forest.

Great forest to go for a walk!

So beautiful when the sun is reflected in the river ...
And definitely pretty in winter too!

Here it ripples neatly.

At the Dhünn it is wonderful to walk along. Numerous benches invite you to linger.

Today the Dühnn is a brook that meanders romantically through the Dühnntal. It used to be a thundering (hence the name Dühnn -> thunder) in the rainy season, which led to severe devastation in the valley. Today the Dühntalsperre regulates the water flow.

The big Kermeter is a beautiful hiking area!

Nice way right on the water. Very good for dog owners!

When the sun is shining, it is especially beautiful here.

Altenberg and its cathedral is the ideal starting point for a tour

The Dhünn is a 40.02 km long, orographically left and south tributary of the Wupper. It rises in the Bergisches Land and flows into Leverkusen in the Wupper, immediately before it even flows into the Rhine. It is the longest tributary of the Wupper and flows through the Oberbergischer Kreis, the Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis and the independent city of Leverkusen. In April 2010, the Dhünn was declared the first "barrier-free river" in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Really a calming area. If you just want to be out of all the speed in everyday life, then you are right here

A small bridge leads safely over a trickle.

If it is not too cold for you, you can cool your feet here and wade through the Dhünn.

Shoes from and through the Dhünn to the other side! Or just for a quick cool down.

Visit the Trostwald in Odenthal 💫

The water is so nice and clear there.

It is worthwhile to take a break here or to sit down and just enjoy nature or cool off.
