Shelter on the Pilgrims' Way and Waldville Trail

Highlight • Mountain Hut

I think it's really great that there are so many huts. From rain and thunderstorms one is sure in this forest.

Alfter-Gielsdorf Cemetery

Highlight • Historical Site

The Alfter-Gielsdorf cemetery is idyllically located on the outskirts of the village on the way to the forest. The (mostly) well-tended graves are each a worthy memory of those buried there.

Playground in Naturpark Rheinland

Highlight • Rest Area

6.53 km

The listed water tower on Gielsdorfer Höhe was built around the turn of the century. Since its closure in 1972 there have been various usage concepts, none of which have been implemented, so the condition of the tower is currently not particularly good.
