May 30, 2024,Wanderbares Wuppertal - Eulenkopfweg 4

Today's hike takes you past historical places such as the former Schöller manor, along the Düssel to the Hermgesberg horse farm. You then reach the disused Grube 7 quarry, a nature reserve that used to produce lime and now offers a hiking trail along the edge of the quarry. The hike continues through the Osterholz forest area to other disused …

In March, while hiking in the area, I accidentally came across the hiking signs of the Owl's Head Trails and then hiked a large part of trail no. 3. Now we have chosen path no. 4, just the right thing for half a day.

However, the hiking sign has nothing to do with the bird, but refers to a fossil.

I spontaneously took advantage of the rain-free afternoon. However, 1/3 of the paths were veeeery muddy and not pleasant to walk on. Still, it's a lovely circular walk that I can definitely repeat when the ground is dry.

Beautiful circular hike. Part of the Eulenkopfweg. From Wuppertal-Schöller. Start at the Schöller hiking car park. The Düssel, W.-Vohwinkel and the limestone quarries Grube Osterholz and Grube 7 are passed. Fields, meadows and residential areas. But mostly in the forest with occasional slight inclines.

Today I was able to enjoy my 200th Komoot hike with Ulrike and Andrea on Eulenkopfweg 4 in the Bergisches Land.
It was a great tour with great weather 🌞 and lots of lush greenery 🌳.
Always a pleasure, it was a lot of fun.

Our second part of the Eulenkopfweg - lots of woodland and only a little asphalt - much nicer than round 3!

Today we "only" had to deal with the very high humidity - every little incline was really exhausting for me... but it was still a nice round - especially the part along the Düssel was great - the old …

Today I went (first) to Eulenkopfweg 4.
I had done trails 1 and 2 years ago in the winter and had been planning the other two for a while.

I wanted to go to the parking lot at Schöller. It's the shortest route, a good 30 minutes by car. Unfortunately, the road there is completely closed. I then looked for …
