Sengbach Reservoir

Highlight • Monument

A hike from Schloss Burg, via the Diederich temple to the dam wall, is very easy to do and there is a lot to see. The hike can be extended by simply doing another lap around the dam itself.

October 20, 2024,BergWeg: SG-Unterburg ->Sträßchen

From the idyllic SG-Unterburg, the route always goes left along the Wupper and is therefore not identical to the Wupperweg. You also leave the Glüder campsite on the right.
Mostly on a single trail, you are sent over the heights (sometimes very steep) (sure-footedness is an advantage).
At Unterrüden, turn left and always follow the St. Heribert stream until you …

April 4, 2025,Bergischer Weg von Essen nach Bad Honnef - Tag 4 Fr - von Burg nach Blecher

From my accommodation in Oberburg, I take a short walk downhill to the Diederichstempel and from there along the Bergischer Weg to the dam wall of the Sengbachtalsperre. From here, the path goes up and down along the steep southern slopes of the Wupper to the Rüdenstein, a monument depicting a legendary dog. This is also where the St. Heribert …

July 20, 2024,Bergischer Weg (FlipFlop) - 11. und letzter Tag - Burg nach Altenberg

I've finally done it! I've been walking the Bergischer Weg for ages and just haven't managed to finish it.
I've had enough of that and have spent the last three weeks tackling the remaining stretch from Baldeneysee to Altenberg.
I divided the route into four stages, so I needed a total of eleven stages for the Bergischer Weg.
Today's stage …

January 27, 2024,Der Bergische Weg 05 - Burg nach Altenberg

What a tour! In addition to the 26 km, the 770 meters uphill were really strenuous! But the most important thing: it was painless. The body is fit again 🥳
The tour itself is wonderful! The first almost 10 km of the stage runs almost exclusively on rustic paths above the Wupper. Afterwards, fields and forests alternate while you repeatedly …

May 21, 2025,Bergischer Weg 5. Etappe von Burg nach Altenberg

Today was the day. I got up in the middle of the night and took a three-hour public transport ride to Burg to hike the remaining 5th stage of the Bergischer Weg. And now I know why this stage is called the "Queen's Stage"! Not only because it's the longest stage of the Bergischer Weg, but also because it has …

May 18, 2025,Bergischer Weg - E05 - von Solingen-Burg nach Altenberger Dom

Today, we hiked another very beautiful stage of the Bergischer Weg with friends.
This time, we gained quite a bit of elevation right from the start.
The weather was a bit subdued at first, but remained very nice and sunny as we continued.
We stopped for a bite at Haus Rüden, which had only just opened. We still got waffles, …

May 9, 2025,Bergische Weg Etappe 5: Von Burg nach Altenberg

Today we continued with the fifth stage, and I have to say it was the most beautiful yet. Even though I've already walked most of it (in winter, admittedly), it had everything a hiker's heart desires: great trails, tough climbs with a fair amount of elevation gain, a reasonable length, and the weather was also on our side. It was …
