Beautiful circular hike starting at the sports ground in Glehn to Schloss Dyck and back, passing by the Nikolauskloster and Lourdes Grotto. Access to the castle including the park requires a fee but is worthwhile. A varied tour and fun for the whole family.

The 5-Castles Tour — From Grevenbroich-Kapellen to Mönchengladbach

We’ll have to get up early and be prepared for a long day if we want to enjoy the 5-Castles Tour. Not all sections of the route are scenic. Stamina is especially important at the start. But later on, we’ll find varied hiking trails, sights, and places to stop for refreshments—all of which make the strenuous hike worthwhile.> The 5-Castles Tour begins at the Kapellen-Wevelinghofen01 train station, more specifically at Platform 2 (trains heading toward Grevenbroich). We walk around the fenced-in ecological restoration area to the right, keep left at the railroad underpass onto Heinrich-Tups-Weg, and follow the tracks. At the railroad crossing, we turn right onto the bike and walking path next to the street Auf dem Mergendahl.

A sunny day with the autumn market - feels a bit like a Christmas market in summer 😀. With almost 140 exhibitors offering mostly high-quality products, there is plenty to look at, drink, and of course eat.
We enjoyed it again!
