Shortly after passing through the stone gate of Landsberg Castle, the path is on the left. It also leads via steps to the rear of the castle.

The gate of Landsberg Castle in Ratingen (near Essen) is a popular starting point for hikes through the surrounding forests in the Klusenbach Valley, often in combination with a visit to Hugenpoet Castle. The castle itself, a former fortress dating back to the 13th century, is known for its 33-meter-high keep, is now a ThyssenKrupp training center, and is not open to the public for interior tours.

This short stretch of trail can be very muddy after rain. It runs along the former railway line from Kettwig to Mülheim.
