Located halfway between Cronenberg-Mitte and the district of Kohlfurt in the Kaltenbach Valley, the Manuelskotten is the only water-power-driven operation in Wuppertal. Even today big cutters for the food industry are cut here. The Manuelskotten can also be visited as a "living industrial monument".
