The landscape of the Wupper valley is extraordinarily beautiful. It is hard to imagine that there was once an intensively used commercial landscape here. Today the water is clean again and nature has recovered.

Wiesenkotten Bridge over the Wupper River

Highlight • Bridge

The Wupperbrücke to Wiesenkotten is a steel / wooden bridge and leads between the Müngstener bridge and Solingen Castle on the Wupper. Very quiet and shady area, great to take a break even in high heat.

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.

August 29, 2022,Schloss Burg – Diederichstempel Runde von Solingen-Schaberg

Today's hiking trip went to Solingen-Schaberg. From the train station it went down into the Wupper valley to the Müngsten Bridge Park, further along the Wupper valley to Burg an der Wupper, up to Burg Castle (the ancestral seat of the Dukes of Berg), and along a different path back to the starting point for the Müngsten Bridge. The Müngsten …

You should do something good for yourself, so I treated myself yesterday.
But I couldn't go on the trip until today...
Packed the car and set off for a good 2 hours towards Solingen.
The destination was the Müngstener Brückenpark.
What an impressive structure, the highest railway bridge in Germany is the Müngstener Brücke die-muengstener-bruecke.de
I had previously thought about …

With the Dhünn hiking group, we toured from Burg Castle to the Müngsten Bridge and back to the Diedrichstempel. We stopped at the waffle house in Burg Castle.
The weather was perfect, we met some nice people, and had some great conversations.
A nice, sporty route 😁

We have postponed this tour to the Bergisches Land twice in the last few weeks due to constant rain - today we start with 1 degree, blue sky and bright sun at P Müngstener Brückenpark. Our path leads directly to the banks of the Wupper, the birds are chirping and there is a rustling and splashing from the rocky Wupper …

The tour profile was already a challenge, but it certainly wasn't the last time. One of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful hike so far. Definitely recommended, but exhausting. Finally, reward them with a Bergisch waffle.🙃🎂

Frosty cold, sun and snow - add to that the Müngstener Brückental and you have a completely successful day.

I lost the bet with the cable car today, so the children got to Burg Castle a little faster, although I didn't dawdle much at 19 minutes 😂.
