Highly Recommended! A little insider tip is the Mariengrotte in Schiefenthal above the hiking trail. If something is hidden, if in doubt, just ask. :)

Guardians of Time Sculpture at Broicher Berg

Highlight • Monument

You come around the corner and unexpectedly see this seated figure. The surprise effect is very big and the amazement even bigger. You ask yourself why he is sitting here …

The Overather Panoramaweg starts at the train station, first goes nicely along the Agger, and then climbs up along the Lombach to Marialinden (with the cathedral).

From there it goes along a small stream valley to Rittberg, then to Schiefenthal, Lölsberg and Broich with a total of a bit up and down again in the Aggertal.
A small and varied …

I was made aware of this beautiful circular hiking trail by @Selma, who hiked the Overather Panorama Trail a few days ago and accompanied her tour with fantastic photos! 👌
So thank you very much for that, this suggestion gave me a great day in the Bergisches Land and a varied hike that was filled with the Agger, views from …

How to escape from Verfastelovend in the Rhineland? Hardly possible! It's worth a try. Almost worked! From Overath into the forest for forest bathing, relaxing, marveling and feeling. Feel sunshine and spring, enjoy moments. Back in Overath, the carnival 🎊 catches up with me again. Alaaf...

Today I walked the Overather Panorama Trail. With such beautiful weather, it was just perfect. The route begins and ends at the train station, so it is possible to travel by public transport. It is very well signposted and mostly follows natural paths. I didn't like the middle section below Schiefenthal at all. First you walk down, then up again …

The Overather Panorama Trail has already been described many times here on the platform.
If you're interested in another documentary... you're welcome... we really enjoyed the journey too!
Especially now, when there are no leaves on the trees, you still have a few more looks. But I imagine the path to be beautiful in every season.
We parked at the …
