In the north of Gummersbach and Bergneustadt, we've planned a "mountain tour" for you that takes you up to the Unnenberg, which rises to over 500 meters. There, you can climb the numerous steps of the observation tower and enjoy a particularly beautiful view of the Bergisches Land region. Starting from the Becke district of Gummersbach, the route covers approximately 15 kilometers through a wonderfully hilly, wooded landscape, with the option of taking a break at the Aggertalsperre reservoir.
