나흐로트-비블링베르데‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪17‬개의 동굴

The ruins of a medieval castle. The Raffenburg was destroyed in 1288. The climb up is not without its challenges, but you'll be rewarded with incredible panoramic views. Perhaps a picnic?

There is hardly anything left of the castle

The ruins of Raffenburg on the Raffenberg lie above the Lennetal. It was one of a series of castles that were built since the 12th century to assert the power of the Archbishopric of Cologne.

Haus Ruhr is a listed building ensemble and a former moated castle in Schwerte-Wandhofen. The house was originally built in 1455 by Jan von Boyle zu Wetter for his son-in-law from the noble family of Neheim. Over the centuries, the house has experienced several changes of ownership and the complex had to be primarily geared towards defense due to the numerous wars. The buildings that stand today date from the 17th and 19th centuries. In the 1970s, Haus Ruhr served as a children's and youth home before it was purchased by Jürgen Störr in 1987 and renovated between 1988 and 1995 for the Ruhr Academy's study program. A special feature on the site is one of the oldest horse chestnut trees in North Rhine-Westphalia, which is over 200 years old and is also known as the "mother of chestnuts". According to tradition, Count von Nesselrode, an envoy of Frederick the Great, brought the chestnut tree back from a mission in Persia and lost it at Haus Ruhr, which led to the first chestnut tree on native soil. The estate's landscape garden was laid out in the 19th century based on the English model. Haus Ruhr is not only an architectural treasure, but also a place of art and creativity. The Ruhr Academy, a private institute for design, art and media, was founded there by Jürgen Störr and his wife Roswitha in the 1980s. The institute places great value on close supervision of students in an inspiring environment and offers training that goes beyond pure craftsmanship.

Lenne Bridge to Hohenlimburg. Here you come to the cycle paths on the other side

This pedestrian bridge call old Hohenlimburg chain bridge. It shortened the walk from Elsey to downtown Hohenlimburg (formerly Limburg). I still know the previous bridge with wooden planks, but there were no chains to be seen. It was also used by workers for their company, e.g. Göke&Sohn (textile factory) or Bilstein (cold rolling mill). Below next to the bridge in a south-eastern direction was once the Hohenlimburg fairground. It was always nice in the 70's and 80's

The garden is characterized by old horse chestnut trees. Today the building is used by the Ruhr Academy: art, photography, illustration, communication design, film acting and film directing are the possible courses of study here.
