We've selected a culturally enriching and relaxing hike for you on the outskirts of Bergisch Gladbach. The starting point for this roughly nine-kilometer walk is Herrenstrunden, where two remarkable historical buildings await you at the end of the tour. First, however, the path leads you through the tranquil and picturesque landscape of the Bergisches Land region.
On country lanes alongside cow pastures and through fairytale-like overgrown forest paths, you can take a break from everyday life. Back in Herrenstrunden, we highly recommend a visit to Zweiffel Castle and the Maltese Commandery. Both are exceptionally beautiful reminders of the area's long history.
