    Hiking

    Lüderich has 2,000 years of mining history under its belt. Roman legionnaires already dug for ore on the mountain. The last mine closed in 1978. This “mining trail” invites you to an exciting search for clues.

    Ten information boards along the side of this approximately 12 kilometer long path offer you a lot about the history and technology of ore mining, as well as the numerous legends that surround Mount Lüderich. Along the way, you can accompany a miner to a shift underground using a souvenir report and learn something about the miners' religiosity.

    A piece of mining history from Rösrath. In addition to various information boards, there are also benches with a table and trash cans. The scenery invites you to linger.
