ベルギッシュグラートバッハの天然記念物・トップ20

It's a lovely place to go for a walk. However, the main path is a combined cycle and footpath, so you can't really walk side by side as there are always cyclists on the road. That's a real shame.

On the way through the Königsforst, a forest area in the south of the city, which is particularly suitable as a shady hiking area in summer, depending on the route you take, you will also come to the highest point within the city of Cologne, the so-called Monte after its "discoverers". Troodelöh (Troost, Dedden & Löhmer). The fact that the forestry administration has removed the summit cross placed here can be classed as sacrilegious... a stone boulder now marks the - in itself unspectacular - measuring point.

"At around 40 kilometers, the Dhünn is the longest tributary of the Wupper. However, the water from the Dhünn only accompanies the Wipper for a short distance, because it flows into the Wupper in Leverkusen. Shortly thereafter, the Wupper flows into the Rhine. The Dhünn is best known as the city river of Leverkusen and for its dam, the Great Dhünn Dam and its upstream dam. The two headwaters of the Dhünn converge in the Great Dhünn Dam before merging into the actual river. The source arms are referred to as Big Dhünn and Small Dhünn according to their different lengths. In the past, many areas of the Dhünn were used for fish farming and hydroelectric power generation. However, as part of comprehensive renaturation measures, a large part of the old weirs were dismantled. In addition, since 2010, the Dhünn has been the first river without weirs and other obstacles that is barrier-free for fish and other water dwellers." https://hochwasserportal.wupperverband.de/Gew%C3%A4sser/Dh%C3%BCnn/

A very beautiful forest with idyllic places to linger.

Especially in summer it is very pleasant to walk here. It's nice and cool on this wooded stretch...

The Königsforst offers a lot of well-marked hiking trails that are easy to walk from young to old. In addition to information boards, Wikipedia also has a lot of information about life in and with the forest on the subject of the royal forest. But the use of the forest from a military point of view is also very well described here and by historical societies. Naturally, there are also educational forest trails, etc. There is plenty of material for themed hikes.
