View of Lake Baldeney

Highlight • Viewpoint

A KISS in this place, a HUG in friendship, A HANDSHAKE of far-reaching consequences, scratched INITIALS indicate what personal stories began here and have been preserved in nature. Here the poets look for special words, the artists for dazzling colours, the musicians for sonorous trumpets and trombones, and the individual for the right words or the small gesture to capture the "magical beauty" of this place and to describe it to others.

But the BEECH alone claws relentlessly into the stony ground and has captured the many moments of PEOPLE and the rock on which we and they stand with natural strength - for over 100 years. AMAZING & SILENCE...

View of Lake Baldeney

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lake Baldeney is always worth a visit. Either for a jog around it or for a bike ride past Haus Schöppen on the lake side to the Ruhr weirs in Hattingen.

Lake Baldeney

Highlight • Lake

The surroundings of the lake and the lake itself offer a particularly varied and panoramic hiking area. On the one hand Fischlaken with its rather open landscape and great panoramas and on the other hand the wooded part with the Korte cliff (must visit!) and several rest stops.

All this is connected by the almost 27-kilometer-long Baldeneysteig (plus the side views of the Isenburg ruins and the Korte cliff). Highly recommended. Since there are many great places for a short or longer break, enough time should be planned. Sturdy shoes (hiking or trekking shoes) and sure-footedness are required for the Baldeneysteig.

Kupferdreh railroad bridge over the Ruhr

Highlight • Bridge

The predecessor of today's bridge was opened in 1872 as part of the "Lower Ruhr Valley Railway". Blown up by the German Wehrmacht in 1945, it was then rebuilt as a single track. Since 1984 it has been a footpath and cycle path that connects the districts of Kupferdreh and Heisingen.

Forest Path Along the Rosentalbach

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Rosentalbach Levada? Before many hikes we coined the name Levada because the creek is walled here like the irrigation systems on Madeira.

The path leads through dense vegetation very close to the walled Rosentalbach. An almost Mediterranean mood arises.
On the other side lurks the golf course.

View of Villa Hügel

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a good view of Villa Hügel.
The Villa Hügel, located in a scenic location on the Ruhr heights above the Baldeneysee, was planned by the industrial pioneer Alfred Krupp himself and was built between 1870 and 1873. In addition to being the private residence of the Krupp family, the villa was also intended to represent the Krupp company. Emperors, kings, heads of government and politicians from many nations were guests here. Despite all the entrepreneurial will to represent that the building embodies, Alfred Krupp was less concerned with architectural aesthetics than with the highest level of comfort and functionality.
