We really enjoyed this discovery loop: a gentle up and down led us to wide views that reached as far as the Voreifel and Cologne Cathedral. Add to that a great mix of sun and clouds, 20 degrees, and to finish, the relaxed old town of Erkrath with an ice cream stop!
Only the namesake of the tour, Haus Unterbach, …

Holiday is hiking day! 🥾😊 Since the weather forecast wasn't that great, I chose a route nearby and did my first neanderland discovery loop. 1️⃣ If I had known the sky would clear up so much, I would have gone somewhere else. But you can't do anything about it - and the route was still quite pretty! 👍

Today I went on another short and "easy" tour, as I still don't want to do any major descents (knee problems).
A great route in terms of scenery.
Unfortunately, it's far too often on paved paths. More suitable for the "muddy" season.

The Panoramaweg Haus Unterbach discovery loop starts in Erkrath at the train station and runs between fields to Unterbach. Then back to Erkrath and through the pedestrian zone to the train station. A beautiful tour in which the panoramas that give it its name are absolute highlights. Therefore recommended.
