The Stinthengst Trail is a short, steep single trail to the pond below the dam of the Eschbachtalsperre reservoir. On some days, the Remscheid "Stinthengst" lives in the pond, and it is extremely important to ride the trail without touching the bottom. Whoever finds the lucky fish with the golden crown usually gets one wish granted! 😉 Background: Several local reports describe the wooden fish with a crown that swam as a cult object on Remscheid ponds in the 1960s and 70s. In recent years, it has been temporarily reinstated right here, at the pond below the dam. The last Stinthengst watering was in May 2025. The Remscheid Stinthengst originates from the tradition of the Masurian "Stinthengst" (fish kings) and is a mythical creature that originates from the waters around Mikołajki (Poland). Once caught, he promised the fishermen in whose net he had landed that he would grant all their wishes if only they would spare his life. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stinthengst

The trail up, once you are over the bridge over the stream, is very challenging.

Very beautiful path. Almost always shady. Lots of places to sit and beautiful views of the water.
