    Hiking

    Johann Gottfried Brügelmann had a factory building built for his cotton mill in Obercromford in 1799, the "Fabrik am Teich". The name is derived from a former reservoir that supplied the drive system of the Cromford spinning mills with water. A year later, Brügelmann built a mansion next to the factory. After his death, his son Jakob Wilhelm inherited "Obercromford".

    Hiking

    The industrial path offers three hiking trails. Taken together, they form a route of around 28 kilometers that can also be explored by bike in a good three hours.
    There are a total of 41 steles along the route with background information on historical industrial sites and also on more recent industrial complexes. (industriepfad-ratingen.de)
    Stela 03 is located at OBERCROMFORD MANSION AND FORMER OIL MILL
