This roughly 13-kilometer circular hike takes you around the Brölbach valley in the southern Bergisches Land region. From the hiking parking lot in Marienfelde, you hike towards Bruchhausen and Niederbreidenbach through gentle fields and past orchards.
The hills surrounding the valley offer beautiful views at every turn, and you'll find lovely picnic spots for a break here and there. If you'd prefer to stop for refreshments along the way, the Stommel restaurant in Müllerhof and the Café Alte Schule near Niederbonrath are good options. The path then curves around the valley floor and leads you back to your starting point.
