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.
