Tips

The Sülz River flows powerfully through Hoffnungsthal. This tributary of the Agger, approximately 25 kilometers long, significantly shapes not only the townscape but also the surrounding landscape. Densely vegetated banks and open green spaces line the river. During heavy rainfall, the Sülz often swells rapidly, flooding the areas it surrounds.

Hiking

"The Sülz Valley takes its name from the Sülz River and its two source streams, the Kürtener Sülz and the Lindlarer Sülz. Measured from the source of the Lindlarer Sülz, the Sülz travels 49 km before flowing into the Agger River near Lohmar. This makes the Sülz the most important tributary of the Agger, which in turn drains into the Rhine via the Sieg River."

"...The name Sülz is derived from the Germanic word *sula- and describes a marshy place, a wallow, or a pool..."

A beautiful little river that, together with the typical Bergisches village of Hoffnungsthal, creates a great backdrop!
