Popular loop in the Bergisches Land Nature Park, Lower Saxony.
The Burscheid Gorge Trail leads through the Bergisches Land Nature Park and leads along beautiful paths through the Eifgenbach Valley. The Markusmühle is very beautiful here - the trout farm is also worth seeing. But the extra highlight are the magical half-timbered houses in Bellinghausen. Towards the end of the tour it becomes steep again. Sometimes fallen trees block the path shortly before the goal is reached.
The start is at the parking lot at Thomashof. Refreshments are possible in the Thomashof and the Bergischer Hof.
