Müngsten Bridge and Aerial Ferry

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge is a nice introduction to a tour down the river Wupper. It goes without great differences in height along the scenic valley past an old Kotten (museum grinding) and appealing inns.
I came with the S-Bahn to Solingen Hbf (Ohligs). From there, it's a bit painstaking through the city up the mountain towards Müngstener bridge. But then downhill to Wuppertal and, as I said, enjoyable again towards the main station.
If the Kraxelei in Ohligs is too much can also go by bus to the bridge park.

Napoleon Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The source or the source area of the Wupper includes approx. 27 - 37 smaller springs, depending on the season, precipitation and temperature situation. These springs, which come to light in a raised bog that is under nature protection, are near the village of Börlinghausen near Marienheide. Here the Wupper is still called the Wipper. At the junction of the many springs, a 'Wupper Spring' sign points to this beginning.

Morsbach valley road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Since July 2022, the entire stretch has been open to traffic again. Direction Solingen to the end with new asphalt, which rolls great.

Coming from Wuppertal/Remscheid it is slightly downhill. Very comfortable to drive.

Personally, I find the other direction quite tough, because it's always 1-2% uphill. You can't see it, but you can feel it.
