The Wupper forms the border between Solingen and Leichlingen. The district council Lucas way runs to a good part hard on the abyss. In some places, there are dozens of meters almost vertically down next to the one meter-wide path. Once slipped and the downward movement would end only 50-100 meters deeper in the Wupper. As much as the abysses caution caution, they still offer in many places a great view down to Balkhausen, the Balkhauser Kotten and Glüder.

Very long and beautiful in many places almost on the edge. Interrupted in half by a valley where a little pushing is done on the rocky and smooth passages. In order to push little, it is advisable to cycle towards Castle Burg.
