Covering a distance of approximately 260 kilometres, divided into 14 stages, the Bergischer Weg runs from the Ruhr area, through the nature parks Bergisches Land and Siebengebirge, to Königswinter on the Rhine. For some years now, the trail has held the quality seal “Qualitätsweg Wanderbares Deutschland” awarded by the German Hiking Association. Along its entire length, the trail not only takes in beautiful scenery and spectacular views, but is also very well signposted in both directions.
