Düren: Große Runde durch den Wald von Schloss Burgau

The tour through the forest of Burgau Castle is ideal in midsummer, as it is mostly in the shade. At the end of the tour, it is worth taking a look at the castle grounds and stopping off at the castle café. If you have a little more time, don't miss the exhibitions.

Burgau Castle, whose origins date back to the 14th century, was acquired in 1917 along with the surrounding forest by the town of Düren with the support of the Benno Schoeller Foundation. After its destruction in the Second World War, the romantic moated castle was rebuilt with the help of the citizens' campaign "Save Burgau". In addition to exhibitions, events are also held in the festival and concert hall.

Note: If you turn right about 300 m after Gut Weyern immediately before the climb at the cycle path junction and follow the main path back to the castle, the tour is also suitable for people with limited mobility who use a rollator or wheelchair. Benches along the paths invite you to take a breather. The well-maintained haptic trails are also suitable for baby carriages and children with bicycles. The 2.3 km long forest nature trail in the forest of Burgau Castle is particularly appealing to families.

indeland-Radroute 5: Rurauen-Berg-Route

Experience something new in a varied landscape The RurUferRadweg, the Wasserburgenroute and the Grünroute lead through the indeland. These long supra-regional main cycle routes cannot be completed in one day. The indeland cycle routes consolidate the tourist cycle route network in indeland and are designed as day or half-day tours. Experience the unmistakable scenic attractions and contrasts in the northern part of the district of Düren on the routes. The routes take you through the agricultural landscape to the sights of our region. Take your time and discover the Welzer Alps, the Indemann and the open-cast lignite mine, Laufenburg or Lake Barmen. Even if you are familiar with the region, you will "experience" many new things at a relaxed cycling pace. The routes, with a length of 10 km to 20 km, lead along existing cycle paths and farm tracks, residential roads and low-traffic side roads. The routes run on flat to slightly hilly terrain and are therefore also suitable for children and less trained cyclists.
