Not far from the major cities along the Rhine and Ruhr rivers, and nestled amid unspoiled nature, lies the Reichshof vacation region in the Bergisches Land Nature Park—where the region’s heritage takes root! Numerous marked hiking trails and a wide range of cultural attractions await discovery.
Dense forests, impressive panoramic views, and the distinctive cultural heritage of the Bergisches Land—rarely does the region offer such diverse and walkable landscapes. The 8th stage of the Bergischer Panoramasteig trail takes you over the hills, through colorful mixed forests, all the way to the Wiehltalsperre. Various themed trails offer diverse excursions through nature and lead you to the headwaters of the Wiehltalsperre, offering a view of Krombacher Island, leading from wayside shrines to monuments, bringing even young hikers up close to the forest with its amazing flora and fauna, or winding through one of the oldest juniper heaths in the Oberbergisches Land—a blooming highlight in late summer. On the therapeutic climate hiking trails around the therapeutic climate resort of Eckenhagen, you can relax and breathe deeply in the fresh, healthy air.
The hike is rounded off with a visit to the numerous recreational attractions. The Monkey and Bird Park, the historic Nespen Mill, the Farm Museum, and the monte mare sauna complex with its indoor pool all offer memorable experiences.
Just as the Bergisches Land region, with its diverse natural landscape and surprising views, presents itself, so too does the culinary landscape of the Reichshof vacation region. Using fresh, just-harvested produce, the hosts welcome guests with “excellent” cuisine featuring regional and international delicacies. Enjoy a sense of well-being in cozy half-timbered houses and rustic snack bars, on sunny terraces, or in an elegant setting.
