It will help you keep an overview. In 1992, Baron von Fürstenberg-Gaugreben and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia established the Bruchhauser Steine Foundation, on whose territory you are travelling here. The foundation promotes nature conservation, landscape preservation and the protection of archaeological monuments with the help of specialist authorities such as the LWL Archaeology Department and the NRW Geological Service. Please note that it is not permitted to leave the paths, pick or damage plants or disturb or even catch animals during your adventure trip. You are welcome to dispose of your rubbish in the rubbish bins at the car parks. The loop trail covers approx. 3.6 kilometres and is not barrier-free due to its location and condition. In total you will be on the move for about 2 to 2.5 hours before arriving back here. The information centre team will be happy to show you around.
