Burg Obbendorf

Obbendorf Castle is a former manor in Hambach and was first mentioned in 893. The castle was built around 1180, making it the oldest knight's seat in the Jülich region. The old shooting ranges, weirs and corridors are a reminder of the old days and offer guests a unique experience. Today, the castle is a peaceful country estate with extensive parkland and a hotel of the same name. The castle rooms, the newly extended modern stables and the romantic castle garden offer space for celebrations and conferences of all kinds.

    Indeaue

    Open at all times

    The renaturalized Inde (Indeaue) was created in the course of the relocation of the open-cast mine and now runs for around 12 km through a wide floodplain landscape in a near-natural state. As a natural area that can be experienced, it offers attractive paths, tranquillity, nature observation and a special insight into the structural change of the Rhenish mining area.
