Bergisch Gladbach

Bergisch Gladbach, the district capital of the Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis, lies on the western edge of the Bergisches Land region, bordering both the metropolis of Cologne and the charming Bergisches Land countryside with its villages, hills, forests, and streams. With 110.000 inhabitants, Bergisch Gladbach doesn't feel like a large city. Greenery is a defining feature of the cityscape. The topography is not mountainous, but rather hilly. Nevertheless, the baroque Bensberg Palace stands prominently overlooking the Rhine plain. Its builders, Elector Johann Wilhelm II of Berg and his ancestors, gave the region its name.

Those arriving in the city center, whether by S-Bahn, tram, or one of the many bus lines, will find a vibrant city with a diverse pedestrian zone and a wide range of shopping opportunities. Gourmets are drawn to the Michelin-starred chef of the Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg, culture enthusiasts will find a wealth of options in the diverse museum landscape, and those with a passion for hiking will be inspired by the Bensberg Castle Trail, the Strunde Valley, or the GeoPath.
