Kaiser Wilhelm I Memorial, Aprath

Highlight • Monument

"... Above the former Aprath Castle, on a hill surrounded by fields and meadows, stands the Kaiser Wilhelm monument. It is surrounded by a ring of deciduous trees.
The former owner of Aprath Castle, member of the state parliament, Karl Rumpff, donated the monument in the second half of the 19th century to commemorate the emperor's visit to Aprath in 1877. On July 5, 1890, it was inaugurated. In addition to Kaiser Wilhelm I, the memorial should also be dedicated to the war clubs.
The monument is erected as a hexagonal neo-Gothic tabernacle with an openwork pinnacle as a work piece in ashlar. The accompanying bust of Kaiser Wilhelm I is damaged and is in the care of the Niederbergisches Museum in Wülfrath. ... "

Aprath Mill Pond

Highlight • Lake

The entire ensemble is very beautiful. The dam of the Aprather Mühlenteich reservoir has been extensively renovated. The old mill was bought by the local mill owner, and upon request, you can view old pictures and finds from the demolished castle Aprath in the otherwise inaccessible mill.

The mill owner is particularly proud that he has had two federal presidents as guests in his quaint traditional café/restaurant: Johannes Rau enjoyed playing Skat at a table next to the stove, and Christian Wulff visited as a guest after a lecture at Bayer.

I must have unconsciously walked a bit along the Eulenkopfweg because this sign accompanied me for most of the way.

We set off with 8 hikers at Aprath train station under very overcast skies and very cool temperatures. The mood was good and we quickly warmed up. There were beautiful views and the temperature slowly rose. We agreed to stop at the Kutscherstuben in Düssel, where we found a place outside. We ate sweet and savoury food, everything tasted good. …

I was at the parking lot at 10:05 a.m. and thought... the group had already left! But no, Hetti told me that I was (almost) an hour early!
The early bird catches the worm!
I also wanted to be the first at the parking lot on a hike!
A beautiful tour that is definitely worth it despite the few kilometers!

March 28, 2023,Düssel - Aprath - Kaiser Denkmal - Düssel

First of all, lunch in the Kutscherstuben in Düssel. Then the Düssel up the valley left and right along beautiful mountain trails.
I didn't find any indication on the Kaiser monument as to which Wilhelm it was, it's a big difference. Well, from the appearance and the year it is obvious that it is Kaiser Wilhelm I. Then back in …

My tight time window for a hike meant I took the Eulenkopfweg 2. The second circular route is the shortest of all four routes. The easy circular route is also the prettiest; it offers many picturesque views of the village of Düssel. As on the Eulenkopfweg 3, I passed the Catholic Church of St. Maximin, which I was also able …

5 suicidal people set out to brave the winter. It was a dangerous slippery ride (black ice) but on the other hand we made good progress. The stop at the Kutscherstube in Düssel was very pleasant. Then another kilometer and we all made it through without any accidents.
