Forest trail with mossy logs and mushrooms

Highlight • Forest

Both mountain ridges owe much of their attraction to the evergreen ilex, through which we finally graze downhill, following a washed-out trail.

Cultural events took place on the open-air stage until 2000. The cultural office planned classical concerts and theater performances there.
“Culture over the Ruhr” attracted people to the open-air stage at Isenburg. Until the concept was no longer financially viable.

At the end there was a delicious non-alcoholic Hefeweizen or Radler for us in the Bur at the campsite - that fizzed well 😜

Demanding trail. Good footwear and surefootedness required. Currently very muddy in places, especially where you share the trail with horses.

A lovely little hike up to Isenburg Castle. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great today, so the view wasn't quite as nice, but that just means we have to come back again. Well, we'd be happy to, but next time we'll make the hike longer.

Today we went to Hattingen to the Isenburg Castle and then returned through a forest, mostly on trails.

Great view from the Isenburg Castle, interesting ruins, and beautiful forest paths. A lovely loop; surefootedness is a plus.

Well, hello first of all...I've never experienced that before...you're on the road for almost 7km, even though it was the middle of the week and at lunchtime, and there were no people (not even with 🐕) anywhere in sight. The paths were also narrow and slippery in places. So I was alone with myself and my thoughts, and my feet …
