Stone Tower at Külpmann Quarry

Highlight • Monument

Until a few years ago, Ruhr sandstone was mined in the Böllberg quarry to produce floor panels or facade panels, for example. The old factory building originally belonged to the Neuwuelflingsburg colliery, which worked here until 1967. In the walls of the quarry, primeval tree trunk remains up to 2m long were occasionally recovered during mining. They are remnants of a former forest bog landscape that existed during the Upper Carboniferous (320 to 296 million years before today).

The Elbsche has its source in Albringhausen and flows into the Ruhr after about 7.5 km in Wengern. In parts it forms the border between Wetter and Witten. The Elbschebachtal is around 32 hectares in size and a great nature reserve and hiking area.

May 6, 2023,Witten/Bommern: Rund um den Brunsberg

A tour with steep climbs and great views. Mostly forest and farm roads. Good to walk in dry weather. It's worth it!

The path down by the creek is currently very muddy.
It is best to choose a day for the route where it froze at night. But overall a nice route. In Wengern there is the possibility to take a longer break.

I finally did this tour from @Hoppaloop again after four years and it really is one of my absolute favorite tours. It's also a tour where you don't meet many people on a Sunday ☺️☀️

The start at Böllberg was not as shown in the GPX track. Since the recording was incomplete, I edited it.

The Elbschetal Nature Reserve, located between Albringhausen and Wengern, is a highly diverse area for hikers and mountain bikers, characterized by forests, agriculture, and the Elbsche River, a tributary of the Ruhr. From the vantage point of the quarry in Albringhausen, you can enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding communities and the nature reserve.

October 31, 2022,Runde über Elbschebach, Böllberg, Wengern und Bommer

A somewhat demanding round that will make you sweat quite a bit.
The round is very varied - different forests, narrow paths, some road (but hardly used), a lot up and down a lot. It never got boring and there was always something to see.

July 10, 2022,Elbschetal – Wengern

A really great round between Sprockhövel and weather. Almost exclusively forest paths, partly densely overgrown and here and there with great views of the Elbschebachtal. Absolutely recommend the restaurant glue box - simple, delicious and honest and even with Guinness Hope House 13, man (n) almost not 😂👌🏻😋🍻.

With the weather festival group we went into the muddy Elbschebachtal today. On the first half of the tour we had really muddy, tough ascents and descents. Careful walking was the order of the day. It was a nice tour, which can be repeated in spring/summer. As always, we had a lot of fun and a lot to tell each …
