Guided Story

Welcome to the Steinbruchgelände Hohenhagen nature reserve, established in 1995. This protected area was once an old quarry, and now it forms a serene natural haven just east of Remscheid's city center. Look around: you're in a space that extends seamlessly into the industrial zone north of Neuenkamper Straße. A green corridor through the Hohenhagen neighborhood connects it to the Oberes Teufelsbachtal nature reserve, preventing isolation and supporting biodiversity. Nearby, about 369 meters southwest, you'll find the Neuenkamp sports hall. Take a moment to appreciate the tranquility and the unique integration of nature within the urban setting.
