Schellenberg hunting lodge with a view of Lake Baldeney

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Jagdhaus Schellenberg is a completely renovated and modernized half-timbered house with a varied history, which is located between the districts of Heisingen and Stadtwald in the heart of the Schellenberg Forest.

The landowners and owners of Schloss Schellenberg, the Freiherren Vittinghoff-Schell, had the original Kotten built in 1836 as a residential building for forest workers. Later, the “Schöne Aussicht” coffee bar was established here. Surrounded by forest and hiking trails, the unique view from the terrace rewards every climb from Baldeneysee to Jagdhaus Schellenberg.

View of Villa Hügel

Highlight • Viewpoint

Especially in the evening and in the colder seasons of autumn and winter, you can often experience spectacular sunsets and illuminated cloud formations that are REFLECTED in the LAKE against the contours of the BERGISCHES LAND in the background (view of Wuppertal - Werden - Velbert - Heiligenhaus). I prefer to run the INCLINE BACKWARDS (!) to experience rising above the horizon, STEP by STEP...

Carl Funke headframe

Highlight • Monument

The headframe of the Carl Funke 1 shaft is one of the few structural relics of the Carl Funke colliery. This began operations in 1804 and was shut down in 1973.

Lake Baldeney

Highlight • Lake

The surroundings of the lake and the lake itself offer a particularly varied and panoramic hiking area. On the one hand Fischlaken with its rather open landscape and great panoramas and on the other hand the wooded part with the Korte cliff (must visit!) and several rest stops.

All this is connected by the almost 27-kilometer-long Baldeneysteig (plus the side views of the Isenburg ruins and the Korte cliff). Highly recommended. Since there are many great places for a short or longer break, enough time should be planned. Sturdy shoes (hiking or trekking shoes) and sure-footedness are required for the Baldeneysteig.
