Very beautiful, secluded stream valley. The hiking trail leads through the riding area at Wocklum Castle.
Just before that, coming from above, you can turn right up to Beckum (the path is not marked on any map).

Luisenhütte Wocklum

Highlight • Monument

Maybe the history of the Luisenhütte dates back to 1732. The construction of an ironworks by the family of Landsberg, however, is provable only for the year 1748.
