Blücher Mine

Highlight • Historical Site

Former mine site, 1847-1893, mining of lead-zinc-ore. Small waters carry iron oxide and thus look red.

Lots of narrow, winding footpaths where no car has ever driven. This is the kind of thing I go to *nature* for. Hurry, the nature conservation authorities haven't closed them yet.

I LOVE wide views. This view over the Cologne Bay is worthwhile. There are nicer ones, but I haven't found the right spots yet.

If the view is clear, you should definitely plan this highlight for a hike east of Bensberg.

Nature Friends House Hardt

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A very nice place in the forest. Great with children: There is play equipment, a large meadow, a soccer field, a sparse forest, a stream and through the pit an interesting environment with a small cave and more...
