Beautiful trail along the Wupper

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful paths along the Wupper.
It's best to hike during the week when there aren't so many people out and about.

Diederich Temple overlooking the Müngsten Bridge and the Wupper

Highlight • Viewpoint

The short detour from the cycle path to the Diederich Temple is worth it just for the view. A view of Wupper and the bridges is fantastic.

Great slate seating. From the path, a steep staircase made of natural stones leads to the throne. I've driven past it many times and always overlooked it ...

December 15, 2024,Brückenparkrunde um Reinshagen

With a rich grey in misty white with wonderfully dancing drizzle drops... that's how the 3rd Advent looked in the Bergisches Land. Who would want to sit inside in the warmth with their luggage and tea?!

The route is roughly the same as the hike made by @RobertO on September 14th, 2023 with the Ev Og Brühl.
The photos were all taken by my wife and included in this hike by me.
I myself had severe stamina problems after having just recovered from the corona virus.
For the return journey, due to numerous cancellations of the …

January 19, 2025,Schloss Burg – Schöner Weg entlang der Wupper

A round trip from Remscheid to Burg Castle and back. The highlights, apart from the beautiful weather, were Germany's highest railway bridge (Müngsten Bridge 107m) and the Burg cable car. Germany's oldest double chair lift from 1952.

May 17, 2025,Viel Wald und ein stählerner Koloss - die Güldenwerther Wupperrunde 🌳🌺🎢

This tour by @RobertO has been slumbering in my collection for a long time and was finally time to take it. The starting and ending point is Remscheid-Güldenwerth station, which is easily accessible by public transport. Even on the approach on the S7 train, you can catch your first impressive view of the valley as you cross the Müngsten Bridge.

In the second half of the year I would like to offer this circular hike in a similar form for the Brühl Eifel Club. The route is based on a tour that I had already taken "under my hiking boots" in 2020.

Hiking with a view - the Güldenwerther Wupper tour with the Eifelverein Brühl on 09/14/23.

The circular hike starts at the Remscheid-Güldenwerth train station and first leads through the Remscheid city forest to the Müngsten Bridge, which at 107 m is still the highest and probably the most impressive railway bridge in Germany.
The massive steel construction is reminiscent of …
