Sengbach Reservoir

Highlight • Monument

A hike from Schloss Burg, via the Diederich temple to the dam wall, is very easy to do and there is a lot to see. The hike can be extended by simply doing another lap around the dam itself.

Hammersbach Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The path follows the Hammersbach before it flows into the Sengbach in the “Aue des unteren Sengbachtals” nature reserve. Very beautiful, very close to nature – don’t forget the mosquito repellent.

March 13, 2025,Kasteel Burg – Prachtig pad langs de Hammersbach rondtocht vanuit Kuhle

Yesterday evening I searched on Komoot to find a nice walking route. 🧐 It's more of a matter of choosing which nice route we would walk. 👣 Bryan also wanted to visit an abandoned plane so I looked for something that was a bit close to it. ✈️📸 It became a route that included the Sengbachtalsperre & Schloss Burg. 🏰🇩🇪 …

September 5, 2025,Über die Wupper zu Schloss Burg

After dropping our daughter off at Cologne/Bonn Airport, we looked for a destination for a hike so we wouldn't have to drive straight home. We know the Rheinisch-Bergisches Land more from the autobahn than from a hiking experience. A sacrilege, as this wonderful tour already reveals. The oldest cable car in North Rhine-Westphalia to Burg Castle is nostalgically beautiful, even …

... have never been closer together for us than on this tour.

But one after anonther...

Walking a bit along the Wupper seemed appealing, especially since the weather was again imperial. We don't suspect that these ten kilometers will be so rich in contrast when we start in a parking lot directly below the Schloss Burg.

January 23, 2022,🐟 🏰 An und über der Wupper – Kleine 8km Runde um Schloss Burg

Even if the journey from the west of Essen takes a little longer: the Wupper is actually always worth a trip, there are ups and downs between the Müngsten Bridge and Burg Castle, and numerous hiking trails are just waiting to be explored. Another highlight is the cable car from the 1950s, with which we devoutly took the gondola down …
