Railway Bridge over the Wupper

Highlight • Bridge

an enchanted area in which the concentrated power of steel in the form of a bridge suddenly appears from nowhere. Pure industrial romance.

Wupper Floodplain

Highlight • Natural

The path leads through the Leichlingen sensory forest, no dogs allowed! Bypassing only takes a huge detour.

Wupper Footbridge and Railway Bridge (Mother and Child Bridge)

Highlight • Bridge

Wupperbrücke, down for pedestrians, up for the train. The only way for pedestrians to cross the Wupper between Opladen and Leichlingen.

Waldhaus Römer

Highlight • Cafe

Hikers and cyclists meet here, but the restaurant is particularly popular with dog owners. There are delicious cakes and delicious snacks, for example tarte flambée.
