Langer Berg

Highlight • Forest

On the paths of this forest, the Ratinger Stadtwald Süd-West landscape conservation area, there are many such paths that are worth riding. Not the worst area for gravel bikes.

Half-Timbered House in LSG-Ratinger Stadtwald Süd-West

Highlight • Monument

The special thing about the house is that it stands alone behind the forest. It blends in wonderfully with the landscape and is reminiscent of a witch's house from the Brothers Grimm books.

January 2, 2025,Wanderbares Ratingen - Waldrunde

We used our vacation to start a little tour. We went to Ratingen in the city forest, which has a few kilometers of hiking to offer. We started on the northern edge of the city of Ratingen right at the moated castle "Haus zum Haus". This is embedded in an idyllic pasture landscape and surrounded by picturesque moats. We didn't …

The route near and south of the blue lake should be avoided and you should walk around it as it is just a narrow path overgrown with thorns and branches. It was a challenge for us and we didn't want to turn back. It had no aesthetic value and was characterized by the battle against thorns and branches. So: use …

Today made a short tour of the local Sauerland Mountain Association with the identification A8. The tour runs almost exclusively through the forest and is well signposted. With the adjoining parking lot for hikers and the deserted paths, it is highly recommended. Today the forest, which is getting darker and darker, was added. Simply great

Nice easy round ... well except d. Section on the Blue Lake. The moated castle is great and next time I would like to stop at the restaurant.

Today, my route took me completely differently than planned. Unfortunately, the original plan fell through due to bad weather 🌧️. Plan B? It took me into the middle of nowhere, where there wasn't even a café ☕, but the hiking parking lot was still overcrowded.
