July 22, 2026,Schloss Eulenbroich, Kupfersiefertal - Rösrath

The tour starts at Schloss Eulenbroich in Rösrath - the cultural heart of the town.
Just behind the gatehouse, the path leads across the bridge of the castle moat into the Sülz meadows. Along the Sülz, the quiet murmur of the water accompanies us for the first few kilometers.
A gentle climb leads us up to Menzlingen. From the heights, …

Beautiful weather today on Sunday, so let's get out there! Komoot inspired me to go to Rösrath, which is not far from home in the Sülz valley.
I started at Rösrath train station, and from there I went first to Eulenbroich Castle. The castle was built as a moated castle in the 13th century and converted into a manor house …

The question was where to go? Well, somewhere cooler and shady, so the Kupfersiefertal valley was a good choice. I hadn't been there in a while. I followed familiar paths past Eulenbroich Castle and the Old Weir up to Menzlingen. The Eule hiking trail is unfortunately no longer there, but the gondola is still there. At the mill, I continued …

Beautiful and very varied round.
Menzlingen with beautiful half-timbered houses and the Kupfersiefertal with rustic trees are worth a look.
A delicious ice cream in Hoffnungstal rounded off the circular route.

Not so nice: near Kleinbliersbach the tour leads over a private property/farm. The owner didn't know how to joke.

When the leaves are slowly changing color, a hike through the floodplain landscape of the Sülz is particularly attractive. The starting point of this hike is at Eulenbroich Castle. During excavations, the remains of a first castle complex from the 13th century were discovered. The outer bailey, today's gatehouse of Schloss Eulenbroich, goes back to a new building from the …

Tour is not recommended on this route! It crosses private property several times and understandably attracts the displeasure of the property owners. It also often runs along main roads. Otherwise the area can be very beautiful, but as I said not on this route.

A worthwhile trip. We were able to spontaneously stop at the "Hoffer Alten" (check opening times) because the owner happened to be there. We found delicious ice cream in Hoffnungsthal. A great day.
