Wupper Trail

Highlight • Trail

Very nice path along the Wupper. The well-groomed path with the overgrown shoreline and the view over the Wupper is always recommended.

The actual Bergisches Land hike is only about 4.5 km long and starts at the hiking car park in Hückeswagen.
Since that was too short for us, we extended the hike.
The Wupper River is carrying little water due to the long dry period. We were able to observe this clearly today.

And if you want, you can make …
