Roderland Route No. 7 through the Broichbach Valley

From the parking lot, the route starts on the side of the Erkensmühle, restyaurant Seedorf. Unfortunately, the bridge over the stream is closed, so we can't walk to the oldest plane tree in Europe. We walk along the lake to the right and continue the route over the Kolk and along the large lake. Because of the bushes we don't see every lake, but on the way back on the other side of the lake we can sometimes see it. We approach Ottenfeld Castle at the back, but walk around it to see the front.

After the castle, we see the Anna Chapel on the street and, of course, light a candle on it. Then we have to walk the cycle path along a busy and dangerous road to Banneuxstraße and back to Broichbach in front of Ottenstein Castle in order to walk back on the other side.

On the way back we pass by the bicycle monument, a moment for reflection. On the other side, we passed the water pump of the village, where more cozy neighborhood meetings take place. If you want to play a game of chess, you can do it in the open air right in front of the parking lot where we started.
