Stage 16 Solingen to Haan-Hülsberg

16.4 km (small detours 17 km)

After the last stage we made the decision in high spirits: next weekend two stages.

PART 1
Start with the 9 euro ticket in Haan-Gruiten to Solingen HBf and from there take the bus to the start of the tour, at the St. Lukas Clinic.
We dive directly into …

February 16, 2025,Neanderlandsteig: Etappe 16 | Solingen - Haan-Hülsberg

The sunny Sunday was worth taking advantage of! ☀️ I decided to do another (the penultimate!) stage on the Neanderlandsteig. It almost looks like I'll finish it in 2025! 😅

The tour started with a highlight: the Ohligser Heide. 🤩 Sure, when it's in bloom, it looks even more beautiful, but even today it was a pretty sight (especially in …

May 12, 2022,Neanderlandsteig Etappe 16: Von Solingen nach Haan

Unfortunately, the penultimate stage does not bring anything exciting in terms of sporting activities (I don't count the few steps up to the Sandberg). Nevertheless, it is a relaxed tour through the forest area of Solingen and Hilden. In the latter case, a little too relaxed in my eyes. Since the paths mostly run dead straight and offer little variety, …

November 4, 2024,Neanderlandsteig - 16. Etappe von Solingen-Ohligs-Mitte nach Haan-Hülsberg

A beautiful, sunny November day was perfect for hiking. The starting point was in Solingen-Ohligs at the Sankt-Lukas-Krankenhaus bus stop and it went straight into the forest.
The paths were mostly wide and were occasionally replaced by narrow forest paths. Everything was easy to walk on without any large muddy patches.
Now it's autumn and there were a lot of …

This time too, we chose the next stage on the neanderlandSTEIG based on the weather forecast 🌨.
With the ground now thawing again and persistent sleet, the next stages 06 and 07 from Velbert via Essen-Kettwig to Mülheim-Selbeck would not have been very pleasant, possibly even risky on the paths/path sections there. After all, this region is already very familiar …

And another stage (this time almost completely in white)...Shortly before the end, Komoot said it had to get out again (so about 1 - 1.5 km was missing at the end, we continued by restarting the smartphone). .....otherwise.. a nice thing (without any major notable highlights)... 🙈🙉🙊... 🤠👌

The first of two stages in perfect weather on the Neanderlandsteig. The first stage (16) went from Solingen to Haan-Hülsberg. One of the most beautiful stages of the entire climb.
