Definitely go up to the roundabout with a view of the A3 motorway - we've driven there so many times without ever suspecting the valley below.

The gate of Landsberg Castle in Ratingen (near Essen) is a popular starting point for hikes through the surrounding forests in the Klusenbach Valley, often in combination with a visit to Hugenpoet Castle. The castle itself, a former fortress dating back to the 13th century, is known for its 33-meter-high keep, is now a ThyssenKrupp training center, and is not open to the public for interior tours.
