    FYI: The highlight is actually about 300 meters away in the middle of the forest at 51°37'03.6"N 7°17'19.6"E. It is also referred to as "Klutenburg" on Komoot.

    It was only in 1979 that the remains of a high medieval (?) castle complex were discovered in the forest area of the Berkel farm. It consists of an outer and main castle and an extensive moat system.
    The complex, which can be described as a motte, is presumably a high medieval castle that was abandoned early in the 14th century and fell into disuse.
    The castle is located in a wooded, impassable spring area. The tower mound, located directly on the stream, is surrounded by a wide moat and a rampart to the east. It is 4 m high and has a diameter of 35-40 m.
