Access road from Remscheider Straße or Solinger Straße to the Müngsten Bridge or Müngsten Bridge Park. Beautiful views of the wooded valley. Cobblestones, not my thing, but that doesn't have to be the case for everyone.

The Napoleon Bridge is an arched bridge built between 1846 and 1849 over the Wupper River in Müngsten, between the cities of Solingen and Remscheid at the mouth of the Morsbach River. It is protected as a historic monument.

A bridge was required to cross the Wupper. This was built in 1819 as a wooden bridge, but was destroyed by a flood in 1840. A little south of the old bridge site, the construction of the Napoleon Bridge started in 1846 and, according to some information, should have been completed around 1847. However, a stone in the building notes the year 1849 as the date of completion.
