ハイリゲンハウスの峡谷・トップ20

The Mouse Path is a historic trade route in the Rhineland that runs from Siegburg to Duisburg. It is one of the old roads and was an important part of the medieval right-bank road network. The route led through various places such as Cologne, Langenfeld and Hilden and was known for its importance in trade and transport1. Today the Mouse Path is a popular destination for hikes and circular routes. The medieval sunken road in Ratingen and Mettmann in particular is a highlight for hikers. There are several circular routes that lead along the Mouse Path and allow you to experience the historical significance and natural beauty of the region

Very picturesque valley with beautiful old farmsteads, pastures, streams and lots of nature.

Be careful, in the valley of the Oefte it is often necessary to be sure-footed. Narrow path with rocky sections and many fallen trees that you can climb over. I like it, but it's not for everyone. In my pictures you can see the passages.

Very nice paths lead through the forest.

You shouldn't miss the narrow ravine.

The discovery loops are circular routes starting from the neanderland STEIG, which are always nice to hike on. In total there are more than 20 discovery loops with lengths between 2 and 19 km, see https://www.neanderlandsteig.de/ discovererschleifen/. On the section of the Stinderbach discovery loop, you hike through the very beautiful, wooded Stinderbachtal along the Stinderbach past the Stindermühle and from here you come to the Neandertal.
