Discover the region

Among the tourist attractions is Merode Castle from the 14th century, which has a long history and is now used as a museum. Those interested in culture should not miss a visit to the Schwarzenbroich Monastery, which also serves as a museum.

Another highlight are the annual events such as the Christmas market at Merode Castle or the town festival in Langerwehe itself.

Culinary delights are offered by various restaurants and inns in the area. Here you can enjoy regional specialities or also try international cuisine.

For those who like to be active, there are many opportunities for leisure activities here: hiking through the forests or along the lakes as well as cycling on well-developed cycle paths are popular outdoor activities in summer. In winter, ice skating on frozen lakes is a great option.

But what do you do in Langerwehe when it rains? There are a few options for that too: The indoor swimming pool invites you to go for a swim or you can visit one of the local museums such as the Indemann Mining Museum or the Rheinbach Glass Museum.

All in all, Langerwehe is definitely worth a trip! Whether nature lovers, those interested in culture or active holidaymakers - there is something for everyone. It is especially beautiful here in spring and summer, when nature is in full bloom and you can be active outdoors.

    Danke für den Tourentip, auch wenn ich nicht die volle Punktzahl geben kann..sorry! Denn leider finden z.Z. wieder umfangreiche Baumrückarbeiten & Rodungsmaßnahmen statt, sodaß Teile des Weges von dicken Reifen zerpflügt sind (da kannst Du aber nichts dafür) ..was den Genuß der Tour ein wenig schmälert.und nach meinem (!) Empfinden wird die Tour erst richtig ab den mittleren Teil dann interessanter durch die Ruinen, Kapellen etc. Dennoch..wieder einmal Vielen Dank!

    Eine Runde mit Höhepunkte und leider wohl zwischenzeitlich durch den Forst stark beackerte Wege, die vorher wohl teilweise Pfade oder schmale Naturwege gewesen sind. Richtige Waldautobahnen gibt es nicht viele. Bis zum ersten großen Wirtschaftsweg Richtung Laufenburg geht es einsam über wunderschöne Pfade in den Wald. Ab hier sind aufgrund der tollen Laufenburg auch viele Wanderer und Spaziergänger unterwegs. Die Erkundung des ehemaligen Klosters Schwarzenbroich sollte man sich nicht entgehen lassen. Ein Highlight ist der Recht lange Pfadabschnitt durch die jungen Birkenhaine. Ab Ehrenfriedhof dann eine Waldautobahn und zum Schluss hin nochmal einige Naturwege. Alles in allem hat die Tour Spaß gemacht. Die Mischung aus Kultur und Natur ist gut. Für mich persönlich sind hier etwas zu viele Leute unterwegs. Drei Sterne sind zu wenig und vier zu viel. Ich würde ja gern 3,5 geben... Lohnen tut sich die Tour schon, vor allem, wenn die alte Pfad- und Wegestruktur, die bei Erstellung der Tour noch anders war, sich von den Eingriffen wieder erholt hat. Danke fürs teilen und Erstellen der Runde.

    Challenging, off-the beaten-track, trail following the faintest-possible tracks whenever possible. We met very few other people along the way, except around the Rursee. Great trail to spot wildlife.

    The StauSeeSteig is a fantastic, challenging multi-day hike that has been developed by the makers of the Dutch Mountain Trail. This trail really goes off the beaten track and we met very few others on the trail with the exception of the section around the Rursee. We covered the 124 km in 5 days which felt right as the terrain is not always easy going. As a bonus, there is quite a bit of wildlife to enjoy. Start and finish are easily reached by train. Highly recommended trail!

    Sehr ruhige Waldwanderung abseits des Rennwegs. Jetzt im Frühsommer sind die Pfade sehr zugewachsen! Also Achtung beim Richtungswechsel. Sehr empfehlenswert an warmen Tagen wegen der schattigen Waldwege.

    Herrliche Ruhe, schöne schmale Wege und Pfade und tolle Aussichten. Nur entlang der Biberburgen ist ein breiter Forstweg entstanden, der sehr langweilig ist.

    Wie der Titel aussagt, führt die Wanderung auf einsamen Wegen durch den Wald 👍🏻 Allerdings hat der Hürtgenwald noch mehr zu bieten
