ローマルの峡谷・トップ15

Enchanting paths lead you through the Kurtenwaldbach valley near the Forsbach mill. It's hard to believe that the city is just a stone's throw away. Surrounded by dense forest, you always follow the babbling of the stream.

The Kupfersiefer Valley near Rösrath is a protected landscape area that perfectly showcases the diversity of the Bergisches Land region's valleys. Here, the stream meanders naturally for extended stretches, accompanied by damp meadows, old groves, and wooded slopes. The valley provides a habitat for numerous animal and plant species. As you walk through this approximately 65-hectare nature reserve, you can enjoy peace and quiet far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

On hot, sunny days, this hollow path, carved into the soft loess soil by the growth of trees on both sides, is a very welcome, shady respite from the open fields. Following the ascent, the hiker reaches the beautiful, half-timbered St. Rochus Chapel.

From the former mill - the mill wheel can still be seen on the outer wall of the building - a section of the path begins that can be described without exaggeration as "wildly romantic". Perhaps an old-fashioned word that some may consider kitschy, but in my view it is absolutely accurate.

The section that leads through the "Kupfersieferbachtal" on the right bank of the Rhine undoubtedly deserves the title "wildly romantic" - which may seem a bit kitschy to some. At the moment, the path can only be managed with a small but manageable climb, as a tree has fallen across the path.

After leaving the town of Blankenberg, you walk on various marked hiking trails (Bergischer Weg, Natursteig Sieg, Erlebnisweg Dreitälerweg, etc.) on beautiful, narrow paths through the Ahrenbachtal.

At this point it is quite steep and the path is not paved. Things get difficult for strollers and the like here

The origin of the loess hollow path goes back to a historical path connection between the Oberlerbachhof and the chapel field on the ridge. Through erosion and the use of paths, the sunken path has carved its characteristic shape into the loess soil over the centuries.
