Historic railway vehicles at Dahlhausen (Wupper) station

Abandoned railway bridge over the Wupper

Highlight • Bridge

When you come to the clearing, where these railway bridges are to be found, you can see the railway bridges on the left and right, straight ahead a (not passable) grove, all enclosed by the Wupper. If you want to go back to civilization you have to go over the railway bridge ... which you can not enter, according to the Wupperverband because "the railing is not high enough". Is probably another expression for "the bridge is totally rotten and we have no desire to repair". Anyway, you only have the possibility either back on the way you came to drive, which is quite a detour, because not just easy and relatively long, or to make punishable and to drive over the not very very confidence-inspiring bridge / go. Avoid it better!

Beyenburg Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

An old monastery surrounded by half-timbered houses, a quiet lake and sparse deciduous forests on the hills - who comes to Beyenburg in the east Wuppertal, the city is suddenly quite far away.
The small town with its winding roads lies between forests and fields in a loop of the Wupper. Its romantic silhouette with the monastery church is reflected in the calm waters of the reservoir. The imposing yet graceful Church of St. Mary Magdalene, the "Beyenburg Cathedral", is one of the finest examples of Late Gothic architecture in the region. It was built in the 14th century together with the monastery stone house on the Beyenberg. The atmospheric Klosterhof leaves hardly any idea how changeable the history was - with devastating fires, but also times when monastic life flourished. The lush baroque high altar and the organ (1693) still bear witness to its heyday.
Since the Middle Ages Beyenburg was an important roadside station: The place was right in the middle between Cologne and Dortmund, one day's journey away from both cities, right on an old military route and a trade route, which continued to Magdeburg and into the Baltic Sea area. The hospitality industry flourished. Pilgrims on the Way of St. James found safe accommodation in the Steinhaus monastery.
At the end of the 18th century, Beyenburg lost its importance: the path was neglected and bumpy, travelers now preferred to use more comfortable alternative routes, which had arisen on the Rhine and Ruhr.
Whoever crosses the Wupper via the small bridge on the Beyenburg ford and walks along the Beyenburg reservoir will be rewarded with a wonderful view of the village, monastery and church on the Beyenberg.

August 15, 2024,Tolle Eindrücke und Ausblicke zwischen Beyenburg und Radevormwald

Since today was the only day of the week with great hiking weather, it was time for something longer nearby.
And it was definitely worth it!
Between km 5 and 11, where it went directly along the banks of the Wupper, it was pretty asphalt-heavy...but that didn't bother me because of Wuppertal's industrial history and still a lot of nature. …

April 19, 2026,Wald-Wasser-Wolle-Weg 🚶🚶🌼🤩🫶💪😎

The Wald-Wasser-Wolle-Wander-Weg is a 20.5 kilometer long circular hiking trail in the western part of the town of Radevormwald in North Rhine-Westphalia. It has a 'Ra' in a circle as its trail marking and is therefore also known as the Radevormwalder Rundweg. In a survey on a hiking portal in cooperation with Stiftung Warentest, the hiking trail was voted the …

October 14, 2021,Wanderung bei Radevormwald

Very interesting round. At the beginning it was a bit along the "Bergisches Amazonas", then came some industrial relics, unfortunately it also went through a residential area but then back into the forest.
The weather didn’t cooperate that much today, unfortunately it was very bad and it was rainy, which is why there were no beautiful views today.
I still …

October 18, 2025,#10 Tuchmacherweg🥾als Runde🔄Radevormwald

The start was at the free P2 near the town hall. We followed the Bergisches Tuchmacherweg (Towel Makers' Trail). After a short walk through the town, we reached the forest. We walked past the Uelfebad (bathroom), then up to Hagen. We missed the markings slightly in Herkingrade. On the way back, we shortly after crossed Wupperstraße, and tall chimneys gave …

April 13, 2025,Wald-Wasser-Wolle-Weg bei Radevormwald

Today, I went on a circular hike near Radevormwald with a small group from the German Alpine Club (DAV Duisburg). We had typical April weather: sun ☀️, rain ☔️, clouds ☁️, a bit of everything 😁. It was a great day of hiking, though. We were able to stop at a small church ⛪️ and were treated to homemade cake... …

Together with the “Riesling hikers” (Kai and Birgit) @Riesling - Hiker, @Kris and I set off on the almost 21 kilometer long Forest-Water-Wool Trail. From Radevormwald in the Bergisches Land we went down to the Wupper dam and then along the Wupper. We then reached the museum train station in Dahlhausen and various former cloth factories before heading back up …

April 8, 2023,Wald-Wasser-Wolle-Weg zu Ostern 🐣

Today there was an Easter round with Sabine. This trail has been on the list for so long. Today was just the perfect day for it. With a lot of joy and a delicious stop, we simply enjoyed the day. It was a wonderful tour, even if it was very tedious at times. 😊
