Finally, sunshine!
After the dreary weather of the last few days, we just wanted to enjoy the sun. So, off we went to the high-altitude trail (like many others). The wind was whistling icily, but that didn't spoil our enjoyment of the weather.
Through the Nußbaumer Wald (or Nutbush Forest, as the local

"The Lüderich mountain boasts 2,000 years of mining history. Even Roman legionaries mined ore on the mountain. The last mine closed in 1978. This 'Mining Trail' invites you on a fascinating journey of discovery. Ten information panels along this approximately 12-kilometer-long trail offer insights into

A loop practically on our doorstep. Through the woods to the Dünnwald Wildlife Park and on to Höhenfelder See, which we hadn't visited in a while. Luckily, the water level was low enough to walk along the shore path. We continued through the Diepeschrath Forest to the Diepeschrath Mill; for dining, you

What do you do when you've finished your hike and still have work to do? Reduce your overtime a bit, sleep in a little longer, hit the gym, and simply move your cardio workout outdoors into the sunshine. 😉
So I start in Klasmühle in the Scherfbach Valley, take a lovely field path to Schallemich and into

Today's tour is called the Reservoir Trio because we've incorporated three reservoirs into the route, which are even connected to each other by an underground tunnel system.
From the hiking parking lot on Schwarzer Weg, we started northeast towards the Bever Reservoir, which we followed for a while via

Admittedly, "Fire and Ice" sounds good, but it doesn't quite capture today's tour. The website for Bergisches Streifzug No. 11 describes it like this:
"Anyone who looks at the picturesque old town of Bergneustadt would hardly suspect that the town has repeatedly fallen victim to devastating fires. The

Crunching snow underfoot? Today I had the chance to experience it in the Bergisches Land region.
I started in Wermelskirchen-Hünger. I followed the Sengbach stream downhill and then back up to Höhrath and on to Burg Castle, which is gleaming in its newly restored glory.
I followed the Eschbach stream

Hiking along the Sieg River remains a very fond memory. After completing all the stages of the Natursteig trail, I decided to explore the Sieg Adventure Trails. I chose the Pulvermühlenweg (Powder Mill Trail), which, at approximately 13 km, is the longest of these trails. However, wanting a bit more

Today's hike begins in Honrath, more precisely at the castle there, and a narrow path leads us to the Agger River. The route follows the main road (not very scenic, but unavoidable due to bridge damage) until we can turn left and cross the Agger. We then ascend through the floodplain to the Bergischer
