ヴッパーフォルシュペールのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The church is a neo-Gothic single-nave church building from 1877

John, the desert preacher who lived on locusts and wild honey, could neither read nor write. Why does he hold up a holy scripture? Certainly, he didn't want to discuss texts, but rather to move people to a different way of life. His call was: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." His disciple Jesus didn't want to discuss even a single iota of the ancient texts, but simply to turn people's hearts to brotherhood. It's a pity that both were recaptured by literalism. But that's what the priesthood thrives on.

Artist: Georg Vogt (Lindlar). Material: stainless steel. Erected in 1990. Almost bodyless, the heart hidden behind a book, one hand already in heaven. It's not facing the human being—it's twisted. Is that supposed to be John the Baptist? I think of it as a caricature of a Bergisch revivalist preacher, of which there were many. It seems intimidating in front of the church entrance. Do they have too many visitors?

The Bergischer Streifzug 2 hiking trail leads directly around the Wuppervorsperre, always with a view of the water. The path is wide and easy to walk, even in winter.

The bells ring at 6:00 p.m.! Very beautiful sound!

A round is always worthwhile if you are nearby

Coming from the hiking car park at the Pflitsch company, it is the first opportunity to cross the Wupper...

Very nice path along the Wupper.
