On this stage, the Ruhr Valley meets English landscape style and a strenuous climb to a plateau with a view. The starting point is the 550-year-old Rindersberg Mill, whose well-preserved lifting beams and a decorative clay horse's head are special details. After several ups and downs on narrow forest paths, the idyllically situated Landsberg Castle of the Thyssen family is hidden among the trees. Surrounded by English landscape design, fountains, and sculptures, it blends harmoniously into the natural surroundings. The final stretch offers expansive views of the Ruhr Valley. Finally, the trail leads to an inviting, green residential area in the Mülheim-Selbeck district.
