Menzlingen is one of the oldest settlements in the municipality of Rösrath and is regarded as a "virtually classic example" of a village-like, self-contained settlement, because like "in a small medieval town, the houses still stick together - as they did at the time of the Thirty Years' War tight.

If you come by racing bike, it is better to go up from Rösrath, as the road to Menzlingen is steep.
