The Bergischer Weg is Germany's most beautiful hiking trail 2024!
The connection of two cultural highlights
The sixth stage of the Bergisch Trail connects two cultural highlights in the Bergisch region and offers a lively up and down through typical mountain scenery with numerous stream valleys and panoramic heights. On the way from Altenberg Cathedral to the baroque palace that Elector Johann Wilhelm II once had built in Bensberg, this stage leads through a varied landscape with numerous views over the Bergisches Land region and the Bay of Cologne. Along the way, a detour to the source of the Strunde, the "most industrious stream in the Bergisches Land", which used to power more than 40 mills on its way to the Rhine. Some of them were operated as paper mills and established Bergisch Gladbach's reputation as a paper town.
If you hike the Bergischer Weg and take photos at certain locations, you can collect points and receive a hiking pin. You can find more information here.
We would like to thank Karin Keiler and Petra Hoch, who look after the trail as volunteer trail patrons.
