Not far from Wahlscheid, you'll find a fantastic panorama of the rolling hills of the Bergisches Land region. Wild meadows and open fields characterize the landscape here.

The Sülz meadows near Hoffnungsthal lead you across meadows and through light woodland. The river strongly shapes the landscape here. During floods, the Sülz can overflow its banks. The damp soils provide a diverse habitat for plants and animals.

The Turmhof portal was once the largest heathland farm in the area. It is nestled within the historic scattered settlement of Rösrath-Brands with its wood-pastures, fields, and pastures, and borders directly on the Wahner Heide nature reserve. In addition to the Heideportal, the Turmhof also houses the Bergische Greifvogelhilfe (Bergisch Bird of Prey Rescue), the Biological Station, the BUND Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis (Friends of the Earth Germany, Rheinisch-Bergischer district), and the Bündnis Heideterrasse (Heath Terrace Alliance).

There they are, perched on poles and canopies, the creatures. They seem accustomed to the public and don't get disturbed.

There's ample parking during the week, and the grounds are open until 6:00 PM. There's a bird of prey sanctuary, a short circular path through the heath garden, and the tower, which gives the park its name and can be climbed.
