Bergischer Panoramasteig - Stage 4: Dhünn - Radevormwald

The promising fourth stage largely follows picturesque paths and only partly well-maintained forest and farm tracks. From the starting point in Dhünn, the route initially leads through the forest to Staelsmühle, then along small roads and paths beside the Kleine Dhünn stream and up to the panoramic heights near the Dreibäumen golf course. From there, meadow paths and trails lead into the idyllic Purder Bach valley and down to Großkatern, where the Panorama Trail ascends along the Schneppenthaler Bach stream towards Hückeswagen. Beyond Hückeswagen, the trail continues along paths and farm tracks through meadows and forests to the Wuppertal Reservoir. Following paths along the wooded slopes of the reservoir, the Panorama Trail finally leads to the Wiebach pre-dam, whose course is then followed to the outskirts of Radevormwald.
