First the hike starts at the Hausrinsthorst Dan to the Emscher, then you walk along the Burk vondern before at Dan you walk towards the Reihn Herne Canal
And then you walk back to the bridge.

February 4, 2023,Von Haus Ripshorst zur Burg Vondern in Oberhausen

Vondern Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1266.
The front view promises a lot, but if you walk through the gate you have actually already seen everything. It's a pity that the Autobahn was built right next to it.

Wonderful autumn weather, wonderful tour. There is easy parking at Haus Ripshorst and off you go through the beautiful landscaped park. My highlight was the "Sorcerer's Apprentice from Oberhausen"; the dancing power pole. It's magic ☆♡☆●♡
