ハイリゲンハウスのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Velbertで発生する小川は、地元の人々にはHeiligenhaus地区にちなんでVogelsangbachという名前で知られています。そこは美しいです。ルール川への合流までの約12キロメートルの間に、200メートル以上の高低差があります。

The area is considered a valuable part of the lower Ruhr valley and is ideal for quiet walks and nature observation.

The Oefter Tal nature reserve in southern Essen (approximately 87 hectares) is a near-natural, narrow valley formed by the Oefter Bach stream, characterized by riparian forests, steep beech and oak slopes, and high biodiversity. It provides habitat for rare species such as the kingfisher and dipper. The area is a popular hiking destination (e.g., near Kettwig/Werden). Highlights and features: Nature experience: A deeply incised valley with a near-natural, meandering stream that flows into the Ruhr River. Flora & Fauna: Alder-poplar riparian forests, old beech stands (120–150 years old), of high importance for the network of habitats. Hiking: Idyllic circular trails, such as an approximately 7.6 km long tour (Oefter Tal and Alteburg) or loops along the ridge, offer scenic views and nature experiences. Accessibility: Located in the south of Essen, accessible via Heidhausen/Kettwig, near Oefte Castle. Protection status: The area is protected and further developed by the Ruhr Regional Association (RVR) through management plans.

As you go down there is a cute coffee shop with cakes, snacks and drinks. Would recommend to try.

Adventurous section of the trail, but easy to walk in good weather and with suitable footwear

is beautiful here at home

Very nice view

A very beautiful and rustic path that can only be recommended. The path leads directly along the Oefte. The path is a bit challenging, however. Many fallen trees have to be overcome either above or below. Depending on the water level, you may have to take the upper path. Depending on the weather, it can be muddy and slippery. This path is really only for those who are not afraid of getting dirty, having to climb, etc. But it is worth it. A really great path. Highly recommended
