Angel churches

Engelskirchen is an ideal holiday and leisure destination for vacationers and day-trippers. Thanks to the healthy climate of the low mountain range landscape, visitors naturally experience peace and relaxation. There are many highlights to discover, especially along the 140 kilometers of marked hiking trails.

The route to Oberberg leads via Engelskirchen – always when approaching the "hilly landscape" from the west. There, visitors will find what awaits them in the rest of the region: a landscape characterized by mountains, meadows, rivers and streams, offering a high recreational value.
In this community of 20.000 inhabitants, there's plenty to enjoy even beyond the forest. Well-run restaurants, cozy inns, and cafés offer pure culinary delights. Interesting destinations for day trips include the Aggertal Cave in Ründeroth, the First German Angel Museum, and the... LVR An industrial museum with changing exhibitions. The museum is connected to the historic water-powered hammer mill "Oelchenshammer" in Bickenbach, the last water-powered forge in the Leppe Valley. In summer, the solar-heated panoramic pool in Engelskirchen and the outdoor pool in Wallefeld offer refreshing swims.
One. At Christmastime, Engelskirchen has another Highlight to offer.
Over 100.000 children attend "The Christ Child in 51777 Engelskirchen" every year
Those who write about it are convinced that the heavenly being lives in Engelskirchen, because the German Post Office has set up a special Christkind post office there. And on certain days, you can even hand your wish list to the Christkind in person.
