The Schwarzbachtrasse is a railway line laid out in the 19th century as the Wuppertal-Oberbarmen / Wuppertal-Wichlinghausen railway line. After the rail traffic was shut down years ago, it was opened in 2018/2019 by the Wuppertal Movement e. V. converted into a footpath and bike path.

Hiking

The Schwarzbachtrasse runs for around 2 km from the former Wichlinghausen train station past the Hilgershöhe residential area to Langerfeld and connects around 50,000 other citizens to the Nordbahntrasse - there are no separate areas for pedestrians and cyclists. The route is paved as in the outer areas of the northern railway route.

This does not detract from your attractiveness. The 29 m high bridge over the Schwarzbach road, a 280 m long tunnel and deep cuts are special elements.
