Narrow Trail Along the Edge of Grube 7

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A very narrow and partly technical path (with sharp stones and a bit of roots) at the top of the pit, right along the fence. It's fun and even if it's rather slow, inexperienced people have to concentrate in 2-3 places.

Bridge Over the Düssel

Highlight • Bridge

Very idyllic! For me, the path along the Düssel is the most beautiful section of the 1st stage of the Neanderlandsteig.

Doctor's House, Gruiten

Highlight • Historical Site

Here we experience a time travel in the village of Gruiten. On the buildings one can read off the history, as the doctor's house from the year 1750 or the Kircherhof: Court at the church first mentioned in 1448. Very well maintained, this place and always worth a visit. Very nice are the different types of rocks shown and thus we learn to do so.

Gruiten Parsonage (1764)

Highlight • Historical Site

Completion of the vicarage on the site of the derelict cottage. This completes the ensemble of preaching house, church and (old) vicarage - the heart of the historic village of Gruiten. In the next 200 years, the pastor's families live in this vicarage, and then the sexton's families from 1964 to 2005. Since 1965 it has (also) housed the municipal office.

Gruiten is really great. an old historic old town with water canals and old houses, most of which are in great condition. Great to look at. Tip: drive straight through the Neandertal.

A pleasant hike through the historic village of Gruiten and along the former quarry. And because the loop was so short, I also hiked the A3 trail, which starts from the same parking lot.
