January 14, 2024,Von Beyenburg nach Dahlerau

Beautiful winter hike from Beyenburg to Dahlerau and back. The Wülfing Museum is looked after with great care. The largest Damof machine in the Bergisches Land is located there in a wonderfully preserved machine hall. We were also able to warm up with cake and hot chocolate.

February 11, 2023,Bergisches Land: Drei-Seen-Tour | 1. Etappe + Wupperschleife Bilstein

Even in fog, this tour was beautiful 🤩 Always along the Wupper, past former factories, bridges, mills. The old cloth factory certainly has exciting stories to tell!

February 11, 2023,Wupperschleife Bilstein und 1. Etappe Drei-Seen-Tour

Great tour along the Wupper past old, partially abandoned factories. Because of the fog, everything was very mystical here. I hope the second stage will take place in bright sunshine, because the far-reaching views are also worthwhile here.
