Hiking
Almost all hammersmiths, their assistants and the grinders of the water power plants in the Gelpe-Saalbach area lived near their workplaces, for example in the towns of Holthausen (Ronsdorf), Dahl (Cronenberg), Westen (Lüttringhausen) and Clemenshammer (Cronenberg, Lüttringhausen, Alt-Remscheid). The assistants (journeymen, hammer workers, apprentices) sometimes lived in the attic of their workplaces. Merchants who were also hammer or grinding shop owners also sometimes lived near Gelpe and Saalbach, including in the towns of Westen and Hasten (Remscheid).

There are a variety of hammers and cottages to see here - often well preserved but neglected.
