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).
