The Lukasweg along the Wupper is always suitable for a natural walk. It can also be used on pushchairs and bicycles, but may occasionally be muddy or slightly flooded.

The Wupper is very original here. There are still gravel banks and habitats for the kingfisher. The tour is completely different depending on the water level. When the tide is high, the Wupper is a raging river; when the tide is low, it flows calmly.

The Wupper is a river in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany), which rises as a Wipper near the Marienheide village of Börlinghausen on the border to Meinerzhagen in the Bergisches Land and in the city of Leverkusen between the districts of Wiesdorf and Rheindorf after 116.5 kilometers of river stretch and a good 400 vertical meters (average gradient is 0.4%) into the Rhine. The average discharge there is a good 17 m³/s.

A feast for the eyes in terms of landscape, but heavily frequented on sunny weekends.
Gray herons and cormorants are not uncommon here and with a bit of luck you can also see a kingfisher

We follow the Wupper to a railway line, where we can change banks via a pedestrian bridge. 😎

Finally it goes down to the Wupper, although the small trail wasn't bad either, it was a different perspective.

Here you can see the kingfisher with lots of luck, in addition to many ducks.

The Lucasweg is a really great path, which meanders along the slope above the Wupper. There are a few places on the Wupper where you can take a break. Busy on sunny weekends though.

Simply beautiful. You have to walk along it at least once.

Above the path along the Wupper there is a path that leads to a spring.
