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.

View of the Sengbach Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Sengbachtalsperre (popularly also called "Solinger dam") is located in a secluded side valley of the Wupper not far from castle Burg, between the Solingen district Höhrath and Glüder. The water reservoir located in the midst of green forests supplies the inhabitants of the city of Solingen with drinking water. For this reason, the building is popularly usually referred to only as Solinger dam.

Lothar Thieves Memorial Grave

Highlight • Historical Site

Normally, after the war, the individually buried soldiers were reburied in collective cemeteries. At the mother's request, this grave was preserved and is intended to commemorate the senseless death of her son, who fell here at the age of only 16, shortly before the end of the war.
