The Bergisch Trail: Stage 13

From the historic vineyards by the Sieg to basalt mining in Pleiser Ländchen, the stage holds many surprises along the way. And the course of the stage is varied too: Paths through lonely valleys and forests are interspersed with passages through small villages and along ridgeways offering many fantastic views. Hikers will catch glimpses of the Siebengebirge and their highest elevation, Großen Ölberg, time and time again.
