Travelling by e-bike or bike past castle houses, mills and through the beautiful Naafbach valley.
Highlights along the route:
- Honrath Castle: The 16th century castle house was built over Romanesque cellar vaults that are still preserved today. The original builders were the Counts of Hückeswagen, who also owned the church next to the castle.
- Gammersbach Mill: Located in the Gammersbach Valley, between Muchensiefen and Oberschönrath, the Gammersbach Mill was first mentioned in 1688 as a water grain mill. At that time, it belonged to the aristocratic House of Schönrath.
- Castle Sülz: Today's Sülz Castle Technology Centre is located in a "new building" of an aristocratic castle complex that was begun in 1766. The former medieval moated castle of Sülz was located to the east.
- Lohmar Castle: The castle house built by Dietrich von Blankenberg in the 14th century on the border with the county of Berg was originally a fortified moated castle. The year of construction of the three-winged outer bailey is still recognisable as the year 1717 in the arched gateway.
- Naafbachtal: The Naafbachtal is one of the most beautiful valleys in our region. With its side valleys and Siefen, between Kreuznaaf, Blindennaaf and the Heckberg Forest, the headwaters of the Kleine and Große Naaf, it covers an area of around 45 km².
