Altena Castle

Above the Lenne Valley, Altena Castle sits on a steep mountain ledge. If you are too lazy to climb up using your own muscle power, you can take the elevator …

August 3, 2024,Quitmannsturm auf dem Kohlberg – Burg Altena Runde von Neuenrade

Since today is another formal men's evening 🍺, I laced up my hiking boots and chose a tour that has been on my agenda for a while to get the thirst I need for this evening 😉 I set off at 8 a.m. in cool 12 degrees. But it didn't stay that way for long and turned into a sweaty …

Altena Castle is always worth a visit; it's a lovely walk. Once, however, I was so lost in thought that I missed a turn 🙈😅
Yes, and one path was so overgrown that I had to take a small detour.

December 25, 2024,Kohlberg - Burg Altena und Umgebung_24km

Today we're going to burn all the Christmas cookies 🍪🍪 and sweets 🍫🍬🧁. We've re-launched an old tour because we don't like the path at the airfield 🛩️ and there was far too much asphalt on the tour, so the tour was revised and there's only a little asphalt on the tour. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't ideal today. It was …

Today we hiked in Altena 🏰 again, the tour was changed a bit and unfortunately there was a road closure on our way again because of a private road 🤔 No entry 🤔 are they just allowed to do that 🤷🏼‍♀️ and a 🐕‍🦺 dog is lurking - on a long leash, but that's a deterrent 😬 Otherwise it's a …

Today's hiking event took me to the Märkische region again. The paths I was aiming for here were all new territory for me. I've only been to Altena Castle several times, but never in connection with hiking. So I was more than excited to see what the tour would bring. The highlights that were shown when planning the route made …

September 23, 2023,Kohlberg Altena

Today there was another tour with my son.
Due to various circumstances we couldn't leave until 1:30 p.m.
We started at Kohlberg near Neuenrade, first to a lookout tower and along a few beautiful trails through forests. 🙂
That soon changed to gravel roads through - I suspect - bark beetle clear-cutting areas, but great views. For example, a disused …

January 8, 2025,Quitmannsturm - Burg Altena

@Gina65 thank you 💐 for this beautiful tour template.
After I saw this hike on Gina's site, I wanted to go to the Quitmannsturm again for sunrise. Okay, that wasn't anything, but it was a winter wonderland.
Apart from the immediate surroundings of Altena, there was fresh, crunchy snow in and around the forest with some fantastic views, garnished with …

January 8, 2025,Winterwanderung im Märkischen Kreis - Burg Altena, Flugplatz Nettenscheid, Quitmannsturm

Today I set off again for a hike at the Quitmannsturm in Neuenrade. I had hoped to experience another great sunrise. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, but instead I had a wonderful snow hike on fresh snow that had fallen during the night. This is pure hiking in the fresh air with wonderful views and great photo opportunities. The paths were …
