ブルガウアーヴァルトのおすすめライド

A very nice, quiet descent that should be enjoyed.

In 1348, a squire named "von Hausen" is documented as having come to this area. In the 16th century, the moated castle passed from the noble family "von Hausen" to "von Berg" to Bens. Through inheritance and marriage, the castle came into the possession of Dietrich Kolff, but the Kolff family line died out in 1832. The castle had been repeatedly expanded up to that point and was later divided into two estates. Today it serves as a hotel and restaurant.

The arched bridge over the Rur River, built here in 1992, should be crossed slowly and carefully in wet weather, as the wooden planks can be slippery! Whether on foot or by bicycle, it's wise to take precautions, as I've experienced before.

Beautiful view of the castle on the hill.

A high wall prevents the grounds of Drove Castle, located in the Kreuzau village of Drove, from being visible from the outside. Only the imposing gate, whose gable façade is crowned by an alliance coat of arms, allows passing hikers a glimpse of the private grounds—which are thus hidden from the public eye.

Great area… Great trails… Very nice people… What more could you want…, I will be back, that’s for sure

beautiful climb

Good dirt road where you can let it fly.
