The Volbachtal nature reserve extends into the Herkenrath and Moitzfeld districts of Bergisch Gladbach and the Immekeppel district of Overath. The upper Volbach is fed by several near-natural spring streams that run in deeply cut sifts with older beech forest stands.

Hiking

Since the buses are often late in Oberheide, there is a Dixie house at the bus stop. This is not locked and can therefore also be used by hikers who "need to dispose of".

Hiking

The romantic Volbachtal stretches for more than five kilometers from Herkenrath to Immekeppel. You may have the most beautiful views during the cherry blossom season - but this hike is also worth it afterwards.
