Gently, rolling hills, meadows, forests and remote valleys with gushing streams, valley reservoirs and small villages with idyllic alleyways and timber-framed houses are typical of the Bergisches Land. A huge number of local and industrial history museums, castles, fortresses and churches bring the history and culture of the region to life. What could be more lovely than to explore this landscape on foot? 

You can enjoy fantastic views, experience nature and discover so much while doing so. You are welcome to enjoy some refreshments at one of the cosy restaurants with typical Bergisch dishes, and gather your strength before tackling the next stage of the hike.  

Explore the Bergische Wanderland (Bergisch Hiking Country)! Further up-to-date information on trails and hosts can be found here. We would be happy to send you our brochures, give you individual advice or book accommodation for you. 

Large sections of the hiking tours run through the Bergisches Land and Siebengebirge nature parks. The species-rich and diverse natural and cultural landscape characterise the picture.
