The Klingenpfad (hiking trail around Solingen, marked with an "S") was built between 1933 and 1935. Its original length was 60km. With the incorporation of the municipality Höhrath in the 70s, he grew to 75km.

Hiking

The blade path leads around the city of Solingen - 75 kilometers long and full of variety. It goes up and down through the Wupper mountains, again and again along the banks of the River Wupper and along small streams, on a flat stretch through the Ohligser Heide, through charming nature protected in many places. On the way there is much to discover: old Kotten, idyllic farms, interesting places. In the years 1933 to 1935, the path was created by the unemployed.
