The Wolfsweg in Königsforst is a longer hiking trail that leads through the large forest area between Bergisch Gladbach and Cologne. It is less known than other routes, but perfect for longer hikes, trail running, or nature lovers who want to go off the beaten path. 🌲🐺✨

Superb and calm, on foot or by bike (be careful, not easy)

Nice to look at. It would be even nicer if everyone took their trash, including cigarette butts, back with them…

Enchanting paths lead you through the Kurtenwaldbach valley near the Forsbach mill. It's hard to believe that the city is just a stone's throw away. Surrounded by dense forest, you always follow the babbling of the stream.
