Jürgen and I offered the TSV (sports club) the tour we had already hiked in May.
There were only six of us today. A pity.
The weather was dry, and the sun even came out around midday. Some of the paths were slippery and muddy due to yesterday's rain.
Took the S8 train from Hochdahl to Gruiten.
From the train

Since the weather forecast is changing hourly, sometimes rain, sometimes not, we decided to do a hike nearby, on familiar paths. If it really does rain all the way through, we can always turn back. 😊 At least it's dry this morning.
We took the bus to Salzmannstrasse. Crossed the street and headed straight

To see the other hikers from the TSV (sports club) again, I joined the leisurely strollers. This group does a maximum of 7 km. So, the two guides, Martina and Wilfried, shortened today's leisurely park tour. With 14 hikers, it was a nice group.
I took the S8 and U79 from Hochdahl to Nordpark. From the

By train and bus from Hochdahl to Wuppertal Rosskamper Strasse.
Briefly along the road and then onto the access road to Grünewald Castle.
The Itter River rises on the castle grounds, and a little further on, on the grounds of the Fauna Bird Park, the Heider Bach stream flows into the Itter in SG-Gräfrath

Today, despite the rain, we went on a flat hike nearby with Bernd and Frank. We drove to the Catholic cemetery in Hitdorf.
Highways and roads were closed everywhere ☹️ but we managed reasonably well and arrived at the starting point at 9 a.m.
From the parking lot, we walked directly across the cemetery
