"... The Willi-Lohbach-Weg is a nature and local history educational trail with a focus on the geology of the Rhenish Slate Mountains; it was the first geological educational trail in Germany.
Most of it runs in the "Mittlere Wupper" nature reserve (FFH area), and the Willi-Lohbach-Weg offers the opportunity to gain natural and cultural-historical insights into how the Bergisches Land was developed on a relaxing hike through the Wupper Mountains. ... "

The Willi Lohbach Trail is a nature and local history trail in Solingen that stretches along the Wupper. It was named after Willi Lohbach, a representative of the Bergisch workers in the 20th century. The trail offers interesting insights into the geology of the Rhenish Slate Mountains and the history of the region1.

The trail was opened in 1971 as Germany's first geological trail and leads through the "Middle Wupper" nature reserve. There are numerous educational boards along the trail that explain mountain formation and the effect of water and climate on the landscape1.

The Willi Lohbach Trail is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers who are interested in geology and natural history.
