Bergischer Weg: Stage 7

This stage is densely forested and runs through the 8,200 hectare nature conservation area of Königsforst and Wahner Heide. From the former small mining town of Bensberg with its Baroque castle complex, it’s on to Monte Troodelöh, the highest point in the Cologne city district. From there, the trail carries on to Rösrath-Forsbach.
