Wupper Trail

Highlight • Trail

Very nice path along the Wupper. The well-groomed path with the overgrown shoreline and the view over the Wupper is always recommended.

November 3, 2022,TSV-S : Von Hückeswagen zur Bevertal- und Wuppertalsperre

On the road again with the TSV today. Ulrike and Karl-Heinz have prepared a very beautiful and varied hike. There were 8 of us in total. Due to a slightly later start and a traffic jam near Wuppertal, we unfortunately didn't manage to stop at the Italian restaurant. For 8 he doesn't stop any longer. So we went to Cafe …

Nice hike over forest and meadow paths, narrow paths, asphalt, cow meadows and a small piece of mud path.

Today we hiked a tour of @RolfD. This was a lot of fun, however there were a few small difficulties from wet trails to fallen trees along the way. Nevertheless, it is definitely a great tour that we are happy to recommend.

Beautiful round between the Bevertalsperre and the Wuppertalsperre. Sometimes, however, we had to look for the paths because they were impassable due to storm damage or, as at km 7.62 (02:38), were blocked off by a fence (despite the hiking sign). It doesn't matter, it made the tour even more fun for the mini hiker! :)
