Whether in summer, when the heather is in full bloom, or year-round as a place to relax and breathe deeply – the Ohligs Heath is the perfect starting point for this stage. It invites hikers to explore expansive forests and cultural landscapes and traverse part of the Bergische Heideterrasse (Bergisch Heath Terrace). Shortly after, the Hilden Heath follows, characterized by rolling hills and extensive woodlands. Here rises the 106-meter-high Sandberg, offering a panoramic view of Hilden. Along the way, the trail passes the Solingen Bird and Animal Park, home to around 300 animals of approximately 80 different species – from wildcats to kangaroos.
