November 15, 2022,ERKRATH - Stinderbachtal-Runde

Again and again a wonderful evening tour, whereby we almost always first go uphill in the (almost) tree-free area and then downhill and then along the Stinderbach. It goes quite a bit up and down along the stream and you always feel a bit like in the fairy tale forest; and then there are the Galloways (recently almost all with …

April 20, 2025,Runde Maria im Tal, Nösenberg, Stinderbachtal

For our Easter hike, we chose a tried-and-true route: from the "Gans" hiking car park down to the Stindermühle mill – unfortunately, it has been privately owned for some time.

The beautiful meadow path that once led directly down to the Stindermühle mill was also privatized and blocked with barbed wire. Access to the Stinderbachtal valley here is now only …
