Hiking Routes

Hike to Berggeistsee Lake

The state forest directly adjacent to the castle garden invites you to extensive walks and hikes. An absolute highlight on your paths is the picturesque Berggeistsee Lake, only a few hundred meters from our hotel. This nature conservation jewel is idyllically nestled in the forest and is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature.

Rhenish Apple Route

North Rhine-Westphalia’s largest fruit-growing region is right on your doorstep. The “Rhenish Apple Route” is a wonderfully developed network of cycling and hiking trails that winds through picturesque orchards, charming farm shops, and vast fields. A cycling or hiking tour is particularly appealing during the apple blossom in spring or during harvest season in late summer. The route is ideal for pleasure cyclists, families, and extended walks.

Bleibtreusee Lake

Waterskiing & Wakeboarding at Bleibtreusee Lake

For all those seeking action after a meeting or on the weekend. The waterski cable park at Bleibtreusee Lake in Brühl is just a few minutes’ drive from the hotel and offers pure adrenaline on the water. Beginners can take courses, while pros can immediately hit the water. If you prefer a quieter experience, rent a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) or enjoy a drink at the beach bar.

UNESCO World Heritage Castles of Brühl

An absolute cultural highlight of the region. Augustusburg and Falkenlust castles are among the most significant Baroque and Rococo buildings in Germany and are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Even if you don’t take a guided tour through the magnificent interiors, a stroll through the symmetrically arranged, expansive French castle gardens is an experience. Ideal for culture enthusiasts, photography fans, and romantic walks.

Cycling Routes in the Region

Whether leisurely flat towards the Rhine or with a few more meters of elevation through the Vorgebirge hills – the area around the hotel is a paradise for cyclists. In addition to the Apple Route, an extensive tour along the “Ville Lake District” is also recommended, starting directly behind our hotel. Excellent for active guests and extended day trips. And cycling to Cologne or Bonn is also easily possible.

Our guests can rent bicycles and e-bikes at the hotel.

Running & Jogging Trails

For your athletic break, you don’t have to look far. Nature begins right behind our hotel. The adjacent forest offers an excellent network of jogging trails of varying difficulty levels. Whether it’s a short, flat morning run to wake up or an intense forest run, you can lace up your running shoes right at your room door.

Heider Bergsee Lake

One of the most beautiful lakes in the region and an oasis of tranquility. Heider Bergsee Lake offers an idyllic beach with fine sand, clear water quality, and boat rentals. A circular path invites you to a relaxing stroll under the trees. A great place for swimmers, beach fans, and pedal boaters.

Kletterwald Schwindelfrei (at the Water Tower)

Go high up in the climbing forest in Brühl. Between old trees and directly at the striking historic water tower, rope bridges, balancing elements, and fast zip lines are stretched. There are various courses from “easy” to “extremely challenging.”
