Very pleasant to hike on the uncrowded trails.
1km away from Schloss Burg you are a bit safer from human highways ... 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

“...We keep catching glimpses of the imposing Burg Castle between the trees, perched high up on a mountain spur...”

Sengbach Reservoir

Highlight • Monument

A hike from Schloss Burg, via the Diederich temple to the dam wall, is very easy to do and there is a lot to see. The hike can be extended by simply doing another lap around the dam itself.

First, a spoke at Suse tore. This caused a hole in the rim tape, whereupon the air suddenly escaped. Then the path was closed because trees had to be felled. The detour was heavily improvised 🙄

Yep, really cool. Just activated the home course. It's always nice to start in Glüder and then stroll through the Bergisches Land in a nice, Uhrensöhnig way. Grilled meat on the go and the whole thing is a complete success. There are hardly any idiots there during the week. I'll be back 😀👍
