Now, if you glance to your left, you might catch a glimpse of the rolling hills of the Ruhr Valley, providing a stunning backdrop now just like in the past. Nearby, just a short walk away, is Schloss Oefte, another relic from a time when castles dominated the landscape. Here, between history and nature, it's a perfect spot to let your mind wander and soak in the atmosphere.
