Scenic forest path along the Wupper River

Highlight • Trail

Rocky Banks of the Wupper

Highlight • River

The tour has some inclines and leads along the Wupper through mixed forest with some great views. Some notice boards tell you something about the geology of the section.
Here a rock formation offers a good opportunity to rest on the water.
One of the beautiful moments to enjoy nature.

View of Sengbach Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Sengbach Dam is a drinking water reservoir in the Solingen city area and is located in a secluded side valley of the Wupper near Burg Castle. It was built between 1900 and 1903 according to the so-called Intze principle and supplies Solingen with drinking water via a nearby waterworks.

Burg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The hike to Burg Castle is short and challenging, climbing at a gradient of 16 to 19 percent, but the reward is more than worth it. The view of the Lower Castle and Burg Castle is magnificent. And the waffles are highly recommended.

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.

View of the Wupper River

Highlight (Segment) • River

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.

View of the Müngsten Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

The train ride (runs every 30 minutes) from Remscheid-Lennep (there are plenty of parking spaces there) over the Müngstener Bridge to Solingen-Schaberg is a highlight. From there, a comfortable circular route leads down to the Müngstener Bridge Park. There is a nice kiosk plus mini golf, Haus Müngsten is a family-friendly restaurant and other attractions such as the ferry across the Wupper.
And: CLIMBING ROUTINE AT A HEIGHT OF 100 METERS - Open from August 1st, 2021
brueckensteig.de/muengstener-brueckenpark-die-tour/#oeffnungszeiten

Whether young, old, big or small - the Brückensteig is a breathtaking experience for everyone! Unique in Europe: The via ferrata over Germany's highest railway bridge allows you to experience industrial culture up close. A guided tour takes you step by step over the steel arch of the Müngsten Bridge to the highest point, where the climb is rewarded with a spectacular view. At €79 for a single ticket, it's not exactly cheap.
