The "BIERWEG (STREIFZUG # 17)" begins and ends at the bus station in Bielstein.

Beer has been brewed in Wiehl-Bielstein since 1900. This has already earned the place the honorary title "Bierdorf". The Bierweg offers insights into the history of the local Erzquell brewery and the high art of brewing. He traces the ingredients that have been used for brewing beer according to the purity law of 1516 for centuries: barley, hops and water.
The 13.4-kilometer circular route accompanies the hiker to the source that supplies the water for the beer from Bielstein. The hiker learns that malt, which is made from barley, decides both the color and the fullness of taste of the beer as well as the secrets of hops and yeast.

On the occasion of this "beer trail" I can't resist - from a purely literary point of view - and I have to briefly mention the humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who I highly value and who is known to a wide audience for his word jokes and "Noch'n poem". was, with one of his – very rare – quote rhymes:
"The four-legged friend only drinks water,
people find beer finer.”
(H.Erhardt)

Completed the hiking trail today in fantastically beautiful weather. The start and finish is the brewery in Bielstein.
A certain basic level of fitness is an advantage, as there are occasionally a few meters of altitude to conquer.
Which is quite typical for the Bergisches Land.
A very nice distant view.
In any case, highly recommended.
