    Herchen is a place in the municipality of Windeck in the Rhein-Sieg district and is located on the Sieg between Bergisches Land and Westerwald, embedded in wooded heights.

    The earlier name of Herchen is Herchingen, so it goes back at least to a Franconian foundation. The first written mention of the rights of the Church of Saint Peter comes from the year 1131.

              "... If you want to hike in the footsteps of thinkers, we recommend the Philosophenweg. The narrow path that leads from the street“ Auf der Hardt ”along the Sieg to the neighboring Röcklingen owes its name to the“ philosophical discourse ", Which the former rector Kühne and his colleagues and students from the Bodelschwingh-Gymnasium looked after here. Part of the way leads past the railway line.
              Today the Philosophenweg is also part of the natural trail Sieg (stage 7) ... "
