June 29, 2025,Höhenroute Odenthal

This time, a short loop near me.
The Odenthal High Route was on the agenda. The route started at a hiking parking lot in a wonderful hiking area. The trail's designers planned the tour according to the motto "hiking trails are lava," and thus managed to ensure that less than 5 kilometers were hiking trails; everything else was asphalt and …

May 1, 2024,Höhenroute Odenthal

On Labor Day we wanted to climb high and work our way over the three Odenthal ridges, which are separated from each other by the Dhünn, Eifgenbach and Scherfbach valleys.

We started from the small hiking car park in Erberich, on the first of the three ridges, from which we soon descended into the Eifgenbach valley. We only followed the …

March 12, 2022,Höhenroute ab Voiswinkel

Today it was the Höhenweg of the Odenthal circular routes. The name sounded promising, but unfortunately the route was not. Mainly on asphalt, sometimes without sidewalks on the street and in the last third almost exclusively through residential areas or through towns. In school grades, the path would get a 4- from me, not recommended, as it is signposted. Too …

Today we went to Odenthal again after a long time. I had really liked the Odenthal themed trails that I had walked so far. The region anyway (Altenberg Cathedral on the other side, Eifgenbachtal in the other direction).

The weather today: T-shirt temperature. Great. There was also one or the other view. The repetition factor is still at zero. Way …

July 25, 2021,30k Trainingsrunde - Höhenroute Odenthal

A really nice round with many views to Cologne, Leverkusen and Remscheid over the Bergisches Land. Partly very asphalt-heavy, but then again surprisingly alpine. That's the way I like it.

April 13, 2024,🌿☀️ Odenthal, Dhünntal und Höhenweg Odenthal

Sunny round with a breeze from Odenthal via Altenberg towards the Dhünntalsperre. We then continued on the "Höhenroute Odenthal" with a wonderful view of Cologne and the surrounding area.
Overall a very nice tour. The only downside was the somewhat high proportion of asphalt. But there's nothing to complain about. After all, we voluntarily followed the tour suggested by Komoot …

Beautiful, varied hiking trail. However, a lot of it is on roads and through villages. Here is the video:
