Very nice hike along the Eifgenbach. Perhaps one should undertake this hike on a weekday. The e-bikers were already annoying on the narrow hiking trails at the weekend.

This bench offers a beautiful view, with a panoramic vista towards Leverkusen and Cologne. On a very clear day, you can even see the Cologne Cathedral.
