The Korte cliff is a lookout point on the Baldeneysee in Essen district Heisingen.
It is named after the Essen horticulture director Rudolf Korte (1878-1950).
Here you have a beautiful panoramic view of the about 100 meters lower Baldeneysee,
on the other side of the river the Scheppen marina and in the background the Bergisches Land

View from the Korte Klippe over Lake Baldeney

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Korte Klippe, named after the Essen horticultural director Rudolf Korte, is located in the Schellenberger Forest in the Heisingen district. From up here you have a perfect view over the entire Baldeneysee, the transition to the Ruhr and the districts of Fischlaken and Heidhausen. The view is one of the most beautiful and popular in all of Essen.

The Korte Cliff is a side view of the BaldeneySteig.

View of Lake Baldeney

Highlight • Viewpoint

A KISS in this place, a HUG in friendship, A HANDSHAKE of far-reaching consequences, scratched INITIALS indicate what personal stories began here and have been preserved in nature. Here the poets look for special words, the artists for dazzling colours, the musicians for sonorous trumpets and trombones, and the individual for the right words or the small gesture to capture the "magical beauty" of this place and to describe it to others.

But the BEECH alone claws relentlessly into the stony ground and has captured the many moments of PEOPLE and the rock on which we and they stand with natural strength - for over 100 years. AMAZING & SILENCE...

Isenburg castle ruins

Highlight • Castle

Around 1240, the Neue Isenburg, named after the Isenburg in Hattingen, was built above the Ruhr by Count Dietrich von Altena-Isenberg. Only 48 years later it was destroyed again. Its ruins were only excavated again at the beginning of the last century.

The Neue Isenburg ruins are a side view of the BaldeneySteig.

Schellenberg hunting lodge with a view of Lake Baldeney

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Jagdhaus Schellenberg is a completely renovated and modernized half-timbered house with a varied history, which is located between the districts of Heisingen and Stadtwald in the heart of the Schellenberg Forest.

The landowners and owners of Schloss Schellenberg, the Freiherren Vittinghoff-Schell, had the original Kotten built in 1836 as a residential building for forest workers. Later, the “Schöne Aussicht” coffee bar was established here. Surrounded by forest and hiking trails, the unique view from the terrace rewards every climb from Baldeneysee to Jagdhaus Schellenberg.
