Tips

The Steinbachtal is located between W - Vohwinkel and SG - Gräfrath. If you want to go there by car, it is best to park at the Fauna zoo. (Could be difficult if it reopens after Corona!)
With the public transport, Gräfrath or the Rosskamper Höhe (Vohwinkel) are ideal, whereby you could take the historic old town with you from the Solingen side.
Narrow and wide paths as well as bridle paths accompany the brook, which pours rushing towards the Wupper and also crosses several ponds.
In some areas, as unfortunately in many places, work is taking place to remove the spruce trees damaged by drought and bark beetles - this means that not all paths are necessarily usable, or churned or dirty.

The Steinbach Valley, and especially the "Devil's Cliffs," are best seen from the opposite side of the valley - and best of all in autumn/winter/spring, when the trees are still bare!
