      A walk through the heather is worthwhile in every season

        The heathlands near Ohligs and Hilden are remnants of the Bergische Heideterrassen, which moved to the right of the Rhine from Siegburg to Mühlheim. They are cultivated landscapes created by clearing and grazing with sheep, cattle, horses, goats and pigs. Still, they can give you an idea of ​​what the area must have looked like in Neanderthal times. At that time open Tundra changed with dense forest. Flocks of mammoths, bisons and wild horses roamed the plains. The Neanderthals lurked in the shelter of the trees. Some species of animals that once hunted them can still be encountered on the hike today: in the Solingen Bird and Animal Park on the edge of the Ohligser Heide, ice foxes live - their flesh once landed in Neanderthal stomachs.
