Shady spot, the path is suitable for both mountain bikes and trekking bikes. However, the valley is shared with many "gassi-goers". So take care

Burg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The hike to Burg Castle is short and challenging, climbing at a gradient of 16 to 19 percent, but the reward is more than worth it. The view of the Lower Castle and Burg Castle is magnificent. And the waffles are highly recommended.

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.

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.
