What makes the Bergisches Land Nature Park special?

A thousand hills and a lot of water

The valuable natural and cultural landscape, the healthy climate as well as the cultural and biological diversity make the Bergisches Land Nature Park a living and experience area with unique quality. The area stretches from Cologne (west) to the Sauerland (east) or from the Wupper river (north) and to the Sieg river (south). The nature park is one of Germany's National Natural Landscapes. Nature parks are committed to sustainable regional development. They preserve and develop nature and landscape with and for people.

"Where the woods still rustle, the nightingale sings,
the mountains tower high, the anvil sounds.
Where the spring still flows from mossy stone,
the brooks still murmur in the flowery grove.
Where in the shade of the oak stood my cradle,
there is my home, my Bergisch Land."

Bergisch homeland song, 1st verse
