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.

October 15, 2024,An der Wupper – Schloss Burg Runde von Solingen-Schaberg

Today we went for a hike in the Bergisches Land along the Wupper.
First we passed the Müngstener Bridge. Since we had our dog 🐕 with us, we didn't want to use the muscle-powered suspension bridge, which would certainly have been fun.
So we continued along the hiking trail towards Burg Castle 🏰.
We passed a water pipe where you …

September 16, 2023,Runde Schloss Burg- Sengbachtalsperre

Starting today in Solingen, we went with a dear friend in bright sunshine down to the Wupper, through the forest to the Sengbachtalsperre and back up to Burg Castle. There are many old half-timbered houses here where you can stop off and enjoy delicious Bergisch waffles or other delicacies.

June 19, 2025,Wanderbares Solingen - Müngstener Brücke

Today I was invited on a tour that started in Solingen. It was a tour with plenty of nature and everything a hike needs: forest, water, elevation gain, a castle, and a historic bridge, to name just a few. And that brings us to the destination of the tour, with some information: The Müngsten Bridge, at 107 meters high, is …

After crossing Burger Landstrasse, there is a hornet nest in the tree on the left-hand side. Be careful! Escaped with five stitches. The animals are right next to the trail, hard to avoid. 10/22/2022

March 1, 2026,🏰🚡 Schloss Burg & Müngstener Brücke 🌉

We've done a similar tour a few times before - and it's always great!
We started in the Solingen district of Burg and took the chairlift to Schloss Burg for the first time. This fun saved us a few meters of altitude gain... 😉
The renovation work is complete. Free from scaffolding and construction fences, the castle looks really smart …

December 13, 2021,Brückenpark 🌁, Wupper, Schloss Burg 🏰 - Rundtour

Müngstener Brücke, Schloss Burg and the Wupper Valley are also worth a hike in December. Unfortunately, the museum in the castle was closed - Monday, stop - and the many scaffolding disturbed the view of the complex a little. Despite overcast skies on this cloudy day in December, we enjoyed the tour very much.
