The Loopebach stream originates northwest of Drabenderhöhe and later flows into the Agger river near Loope. In the Krämersbruch area, you follow the gently meandering waterway through damp alder and ash groves.

In the Bergisches Land region of the Rhineland, remnants of the Cold War can still be found in some places. One of these is the former Bundeswehr listening post "Heckberg." The site is located in Much, on the municipal border with Engelskirchen, nestled on a hilltop amidst extensive woodlands. Heckberg is 383 meters high and offers panoramic views of the Siebengebirge hills and the Cologne Lowland. Silver and lead were mined here as early as the 13th century. Old spoil heaps can still be seen at the Silberkaule mine. The aim of a proposed project is to repurpose the military site for tourism development. This will be achieved by creating a high point with an attractive panorama. The underground bunker complex could be integrated into the development as a documentation and exhibition center. Furthermore, a connection to the regional hiking trail network is planned. The municipality intends to purchase the property from the Federal Agency for Real Estate (BImA) with the goal of environmentally sound tourism development. The conversion of the listening post into a tourist destination is intended to serve as a model for how former military installations can be repurposed in a way that is both needs-based and integrated into regional concepts. The project is currently on hold. Source: https://www.regionale2025.de/projekte/23/

Perhaps some hikers or strollers on the "Böll Trail" (Bergischer Streifzug 20) would like to learn a little about the trail's namesake, who, incidentally, also lived here for several years? Then I recommend taking a quarter of an hour to watch the corresponding episode of the television series "Classics of World Literature" by and with Tilmann Spengler. The person and work of Nobel Prize winner Heinrich Böll (1917 to 1985) are presented there. The corresponding film can be accessed via the following link in the ARD Media Library =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/klassiker-der-weltliteratur/heinrich-boell/ard-alpha/Y3JpZDovL2JyLmRlL2Jyb2FkY2FzdC9GMjAxN1dPMDIwMzUxQTA
