A very nice place in the forest. Great with children: There is play equipment, a large meadow, a soccer field, a sparse forest, a stream and through the pit an interesting environment with a small cave and more...

February 8, 2025,Bensberger Schlossweg - Bergischer Streifzug #13

Attention: The chronology of the pictures and the route I hiked do not match the hike because I imported the planned tour again.
Hiked KM 10.6 in 2:20 hours.
I chose the Bergischer Streifzug #13 for today's hike, which I have hiked in a similar form before.
Today's hiking break was at the Naturfreundehaus Hardt.
Varied hike with interesting history …

April 30, 2026,Bergisches - Bensberger Schlossweg (Streifzug #13)

On a last day in April, we walked this beautiful tour, the sun was with us and ensured good spirits.
At Schloss Bensberg, we stayed for a little while, admired the sculptures and repeatedly cast a glance into the distance - and presto, we discovered Cologne Cathedral. It doesn't let you go.

Today we walked the Bensberg Castle Trail with 17 lively hikers. Perfect hiking weather and a cheerful group led us to start in Bensberg, with a view of the old castle and the extension of Bensberg's town hall, the so-called "Apefelsen," and then continue past Bensberg Castle, now a luxury hotel. We left the town past the castle's outer walls …

November 6, 2025,Bergische Streifzüge #13 Bensberger Schlossweg, 06.11.2025

The Bensberg Castle Trail didn't live up to my expectations. It lacked a certain highlight. It's alright as a Sunday afternoon stroll after Mass.

The journey there and back was quite an adventure. Judging by the number of construction sites, it felt like every third street was torn up, and all the detours basically led in circles. The red lights …
