The moated castle now houses a restaurant. Here you can sit outside when the weather is nice and enjoy nature and the good food and drinks that are on offer here. Weddings are often celebrated here or bands play.

October 14, 2021,Bochum-Stiepel: Zisterzienserkloster, Ruhr, Burg Blankenstein, Haus Kemnade, alte Dorfkirche Stiepel

Nice varied hike with many highlights that the Ruhr area has to offer. Starting from the free parking lot (bus stop nearby), we first went to the Cistercian monastery with Kreuz and Marienweg, founded in 1989. We continued through the monastery forest on a narrow path that ends at a road. Here are two information signs for former mining tunnels, …

January 7, 2023,Kloster Stiepel - Burg Blankenstein

I parked near the Stiepel monastery.
From there it went via the Stiepel village church, beautiful, past the Kemnade house to Blankenstein Castle and then back to the monastery.
Fortunately, the paths were not as muddy as feared and both the Stiepel village church and the monastery church were open.
Despite the 2 climbs, it was a wonderful path that …

The hike began at the parking lot of Haus Kemnade, where we were supposed to stop for a cyclist at the end of our round.
But first it went uphill and then always …

Nice, varied tour, even if the weather wasn't very inviting. If you change the tour slightly, you can include Blankenstein Castle.

September 12, 2021,Ruhrtal – Burg Blankenstein Hattingen Runde von Stiepel

As you can see, Komoot cheated me a few kilometers in between and therefore all the more meters in altitude: D Overall, the route was only about 14.7 km long and had about 350 meters of altitude. That's it.

September 12, 2022,Burg Blankenstein Ruhrtalrunde (Hattingen/Bochum) 12.09.22

It was such a beautiful tour and then I hit the GPS karma.

But one after anonther. I've wanted to run my version of this popular circuit for a long time. Whether it was Outdooractive or Komoot, 2-3 years ago a Blankenstein Ruhrtal circuit was all the rage. But after the Kösterbrücke, this only led along the historic Leinfad and …
