A special highlight of the Chicago Steakhouse is the outdoor terrace, which offers a truly great view of the Baldeneysee. Here you can sit back, enjoy good food, and let your gaze wander over the water. Especially on nice weather days, a really pleasant atmosphere is created – with the sun on your face, a light breeze, and the lake right before your eyes.

Between Haus Scheppen and Kupferdreh is the Hespertalbahn. It is a museum railway that runs on a few operating days a year (found on the website). The ticket prices are quite affordable and the scenery is very beautiful.

The bridge is completely closed from now until further notice due to PLANNED renovation work! The detour (approx. 2 km!) is via the Kampmann Bridge!

The former railway bridge connects Kupferdreh with the Heisinger Bogen bird sanctuary for pedestrians and cyclists.
