The castle is situated in a quiet wooded area above August-Thyssen-Straße. It was built in 1276 by Count Adolf V of Berg to fortify the Ruhr crossing. Today, the castle and the adjacent new building belong to the ThyssenKrupp Group and are used as a training center.

Very nice to hike along here.

Very nice paths lead through the forest.

The Rotthäuser Bachtal has been under nature protection since 1984 and is designated as an FFH area. (FFH areas are areas that have been selected for the "Natura 2000" protected area system.) What is special about the valley are its wet biotopes, the stream that gave it its name, its springs, the numerous fish ponds and extensive reed beds. There are also valuable alder, ash and softwood alluvial forests as well as grove beech forests. This is how a diverse and varied landscape can be seen in a small area. Rare animal species such as reed warblers, reed buntings and kingfishers as well as dragonflies such as the "blue-green mermaid" can be seen in the Rotthäuser Bachtal. The plant world is also rich in species, including plants that are threatened according to the "Red List", such as the giant horsetail or the watercress.

Such a wonderful area for hiking

The Neandertal with the Düssel is unexpectedly beautiful. You feel far away from any civilization - until you hear a siren and are reminded that you are only a few meters away from the nearest town.

Interesting village with many beautiful half-timbered houses, each of which has information about previous residents and history on a small sign.
