View from the Burggrafenberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the marked trail you walk at this point already increased. The adjacent Burggrafenberg with its 282 meters is the highest single elevation in Forst Burgholz. The view from up here is beautiful and leads far over the valley of the Wupper. An ideal place for a picnic break!

Arboretum Burgholz

Highlight • Forest

Originally primarily useful for building in nature, the arboretum is becoming an important experimental field in the stormy and hot-dry times of climate change. You can see the skeletons of dead spruces, which cannot survive this climate change, in the immediate vicinity of the exotic trees. The biodiversity of the arboretum can help with the current problems to discover more resistant tree species.
