Ker! Is that nice here! You will hear this sentence more often when you visit Hohensyburg. Actually it is the name of a medieval castle ruin that is located there. But the people of Dortmund simply call the whole excursion destination around the castle that.

Because there, on a mountain above the Ruhr, there is much more than just a ruin. For example, an imposing monument to Kaiser Wilhelm, from which you have a spectacular view over the Ruhr Valley.

Those who make it can struggle up the serpentines, otherwise the view up is enough

The Hohensyburg, also known as Syburg, is the ruins of a hilltop castle in the Syburg district of Dortmund. It sits enthroned on the Syberg above Lake Hengstey and is a popular excursion destination that, in addition to the castle ruins, also includes the Vincketurm, a war memorial and the Kaiser Wilhelm monument. There is also the Hohensyburg natural stage and, since 1985, the Hohensyburg casino. The area is protected as a nature reserve and is home to historical mining relics.
