Guided Story

Can you hear the rustling leaves above? Those are the grand beech trees of the Klosterbusch, offering you shade as you wander these paths. Imagine this place centuries ago, when it was a pasture for calves, which is how 'Kalwes' got its name. If you listen closely to the northwest, you might hear the gentle flow of the Kalwesbach as it merges with the Lottenbach. These waters are the lifeblood of this natural haven. Southwest from here, you’ll find the Zeche Klosterbusch monument, a reminder of the coal mining era. Picture this hill soon transforming into a large nature reserve, a sanctuary for plants and wildlife. Enjoy the peace and the rich history this place offers.
