July 30, 2026, View of the Chestnut Avenue

The chestnut tree avenue to Wildpark Odenthal is a fairytale-like nature experience that leads you through a magnificent avenue of old, majestic chestnut trees. 🌳✨ In autumn, the avenue reveals itself in golden and brown colors as the leaves change and a carpet of chestnut leaves covers the ground. The shiny chestnuts lie like little treasures on the path.

At the Tütberg, the highest point in Königsforst (212 m), there is this newly created rest area, which is perfect for a break with a view, nature, and coziness! 🧺🌲

The section along the Hortenbach stream below the Hoheberg mountain is one of the most picturesque parts of the Dhünn hiking trail. The path leads you along the water in a relaxed manner. The dense canopy of leaves provides welcome shade, especially on hot days.

The Turmhof portal was once the largest heathland farm in the area. It is nestled within the historic scattered settlement of Rösrath-Brands with its wood-pastures, fields, and pastures, and borders directly on the Wahner Heide nature reserve. In addition to the Heideportal, the Turmhof also houses the Bergische Greifvogelhilfe (Bergisch Bird of Prey Rescue), the Biological Station, the BUND Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis (Friends of the Earth Germany, Rheinisch-Bergischer district), and the Bündnis Heideterrasse (Heath Terrace Alliance).
