フェルバートの洞窟・トップ20

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.

The almost 900-year-old manor house Haus Anger is one of the oldest buildings in the Angertal. While this property was neglected for a long time and was only extensively renovated and converted to residential use a few years ago, the neighboring mill building was tastefully restored in the 1980s.

Today only an impressive ruin remains of the former Isenburg, which was built in the 12th century for Count Arnold von Altena on the Isenberg. In the middle of the ruins stands the Custodis House, which was built around 1855 in the classicist style.

Around 1240, the Neue Isenburg, named after the Isenburg in Hattingen, was built above the Ruhr by Count Dietrich von Altena-Isenberg. Only 48 years later it was destroyed again. Its ruins were only excavated again at the beginning of the last century. The Neue Isenburg ruins are a side view of the BaldeneySteig.

Just take a little break

Unfortunately, everything is a bit dilapidated - but overall an impressive facility.

Partly quite hilly hiking trail - mostly above the Baldeneysees - with many beautiful vantage points and various rest stops.

If you come from the direction of Ratingen, you have already spent some time in nature – and suddenly you see this big house.
