Katzensteine Sandstone Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

The cat stones are very impressive. People have already camped here in the Stone Age, the Romans used the stones as a quarry and you can also discover the stones for yourself.

I forgot to check what was happening at Satzvey Castle today 🙈. It was the "Darkly Colorful Scene Market" event, "all about fantasy, gothic, medieval, rockabilly, steampunk & more!" There were masses of people from this "darkly colorful scene" from all over North Rhine-Westphalia and beyond, along with overcrowded parking lots and traffic jams through the small town of Satzvey.

April 8, 2026,Burg Satzvey 🏰 – Katzensteine – Runde von Satzvey

Today, under a bright blue sky, we went to Satzvey to visit Satzvey Castle – a place that evokes memories for me, as I used to attend jousting tournaments there with my parents.

The tour continued through the Schavener Heide and past the off-road training grounds. Later, we went along the Katzensteine before finally heading back to Satzvey.

"Hiking & Friends - Time"

Even though “hiking alone” remains something special for me, a tour like this with friends is just as priceless.

Thanks :)
