Description
The hike leads from Wermelskirchen to the Altenberg cathedral, over part of the Jakobsweg trail to Santiago di Compostella. A 19.3 km trail with hardly any gradients offers a beautiful view of the Bergisches Land. The hike starts in the small mountain town of Wermelskirchen and ends at the Altenberg cathedral from the 13th century, a former Cistercian abbey. There you will have the option of a tour. NOTE: the challenge of a typical low mountain range hike. We will ride there and back together using public buses. The fee per participant includes the trail guide, public transportation there and back, packed lunch, and insurance.
