    Hiking

    The Oelchenshammer of the LVR-Industriemuseum Engelskirchen is the last functional water-powered forging hammer in the Oberbergisches Land.

    During the blacksmithing season from April to October, visitors have the opportunity on many Sundays to look over the shoulder of the museum blacksmith.

    The Oelchenshammer, located directly on the edge of the forest and in close proximity to the Leppe river, is the ideal place for professional and private events with its special atmosphere. You can also tie the knot here: Weddings can be organized at the Oelchenshammer via the Engelskirchen registry office.
