Balkener Feld

Take a deep breath. Can you feel the fresh air flowing through the trees? Listen closely, and you'll hear birds chirping all around. Look to your left, where the dense forest stretches like a green carpet over the hills. Did you know that wild orchids used to grow here? These rare beauties were nearly forgotten but have made a comeback in this protected area. Behind you lies the Hüscheider Bach Valley, a perfect spot to soak in the peacefulness. Imagine the Wupper River flowing at Leverkusen's city boundary, leaving behind a trace of history and nature that's been protected since 1985. It's a place you have to experience to truly appreciate its magic.
