Touristinformation Altenberg

Touristinformation Altenberg (Benjamin Suthe)

Welcome to Odenthal, the cradle of the Bergisches Land!

Berge Castle, which gave the Bergisches Land its name, once stood here. With its multifaceted, unspoiled nature, Odenthal is the ideal place to recover from the stress of everyday life. The gently rolling hills of the Bergisches Land provide the perfect setting for leisure activities close to nature. If you enjoy being outdoors, whether on foot or by bike, this is the place for you. A well-developed network of paths runs through the forests and leads past rushing streams and charming half-timbered houses. 

The Altenberg Cathedral, a masterpiece of medieval architecture, rises majestically in the middle of this romantic landscape. The magnificent Gothic cathedral is home to the largest stained glass window north of the Alps and is the landmark of the Bergisches Land region. 

Let yourself be pampered by the convincing offers of the local hotels and enjoy the culinary delights of the local restaurants, which offer something for every taste and also bring something new to the spoiled connoisseur. 

Odenthal offers its visitors a wide and interesting range of cultural events. Experience a wonderful time with exciting guided tours, great concerts or varied excursions into the beautiful countryside. See for yourself which highlights are just waiting to be discovered.
