Narrow trail along the Wupper

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

One of the most beautiful trails I know in Bergisch. High aspiration, but feasible for beginners. Cross several streams, it goes to Wupper, you can do some jumps ... what more do you want?

There was still half a day left before the Christ Child arrived. That was enough for a 15 lap with a few meters of altitude between Solingen and Wuppertal.

The starting point is the Fleußmühle hiking car park and you're already in the countryside, a hiking trail that leads to Altenfeld and from there further north.
