ジークブルクのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

After many forests were destroyed by storms and bark beetles, this project aims to create a new forest experience for us and especially for future generations. A fantastic idea and a very well-maintained facility!

The water should not be polluted 😘💪

Gut Umschoß is beautifully situated, and the surroundings, including the house, are beautiful. However, I always drive past it, as there's a better place for a break after the descent further down.

The view is wonderful, and depending on which direction you're coming from, it's a real reward for the climb. The only thing missing is a little shade, and in summer the benches get very hot.

The Wahnbach Dam is located in Siegburg-Seligenthal and serves as a drinking water supply. The reservoir was opened in 1958 and is primarily fed by the Wahnbach stream. It has a dam as a barrier. Before the Wahnbach Dam was built, the current reservoir area housed the "Lüttersmühle" (Lutters Mill), the "Wahntaler Schweiz" (Wahntal Switzerland) inn, and two farms – "Hillenbach" and "Petershof," which stood on the site of the former Hoffnungsthaler Hütte (Hope's Valley Ironworks). The residents of these houses had to be relocated. At the inlet of the Wahnbach stream, where the current foredam stands, there was the "Herkenrather Mühle" (Herkenrath Mill) inn.

always beautiful and with tub benches

Great view of the dam from here.

The Wahnbachtalsperre has everything your heart desires. It doesn't matter whether you're a beginner or an advanced hiker. There are a wide variety of trails, of different lengths and levels of difficulty. I would classify the classic trails as "medium". This includes, for example, the popular Mönchsweg trail, which is just over 8 km long. The Wahnbachtalsperre is also a balm for the soul. No matter how busy it is, you always find your inner peace somehow. I recommend the routes equally for walkers, hikers, runners and bikers.
