In 1348, a squire named "von Hausen" is documented as having come to this area. In the 16th century, the moated castle passed from the noble family "von Hausen" to "von Berg" to Bens. Through inheritance and marriage, the castle came into the possession of Dietrich Kolff, but the Kolff family line died out in 1832. The castle had been repeatedly expanded up to that point and was later divided into two estates. Today it serves as a hotel and restaurant.

Beautiful view of the castle on the hill.

A very nice view of the castle

A beautiful route along the Rur River. Unfortunately, the cycle path is only partially suitable for road bikes.

A long and varied climb from Heimbach to Schmidt. The first few kilometers are very steep. After that, it flattens out. In Schmidt, the gradient increases slightly again in the final kilometers. Beware: There are many motorcyclists on the road on weekends.

Very nice bike path with good asphalt.

From here, you have a beautiful view of the dam. There are two benches where you can relax.
