    Running

    Großbernsau Castle was probably built in the 13th century, likely as a moated or hilltop castle, to secure strategically important trade routes and the surrounding land.

    It served as the seat of a local noble family or as an administrative center for the territories in the Bergisches Land region.

    Hiking

    Unfortunately right on a busy road. Still worth a stop.
