There is a book and a movie (broadcast on WDR) titled: "The Wupper - Amazon in Bergisches Land". The Wupper lives again and is full of surprises on its 116 kilometers in length. The untamed waters offer not only countless picturesque motifs, but above all, there are a variety of fantastic plant and animal species to discover on a journey from the source to the mouth. Almost like the South American relative, the Amazon.

View of Rüden and the Wupper Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the ridge of the Wupper slopes above the Kottens you can reach the broad and comfortable path that leads over the ridge of the Wupper mountains. If you turn right here, after a few hundred meters you will come to a small hut that marks a lookout. From here you can see the whole valley with houses, cars, people in toy format.

View over Oberrüden and the Wupper Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

the view is great, but very clear: from the Wupperhof you have to be good on foot and wear good shoes !! Partly via S3 and S4 which are probably mountain bike routes. I don’t want to go in bad weather. In some cases, there are hardly any reasonable steps.

Herzbachtal

Highlight • Gorge

Nicely located between two crisp climbs. Good place to rest and to cool your feet in the stream

Path Along the Wupper

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The path through a grove right on the banks of the wildly rushing Wupper is a particularly romantic walk that invites you to linger and take photos.

Wipperkotten Grinding Mill

Highlight • Historical Site

The Wipperkotten was already mentioned at the beginning of the 17th century. It was rebuilt after the fires of 1783 and 1858 and has been a listed building since 1994. He is the last water-powered Schleifkotten on the Wupper, and the last Doppelkotten with two water wheels.

January 25, 2025,Runde an der Wupper

An absolute classic. The loop along the Wupper from the Haasenmühle to the Wupperhof.

Due to a lost key, we walked part of the route three times and luckily found the key again at the Wipperkotten.

The climb up the Obenrüdener Kottten is quite a challenge. It would be nice if the city replaced the destroyed bridge at some point. …

A nice day trip in the sunshine. Very beautiful paths and steep climbs from Wupperhof along the Wupper, through the Wupper steep slopes, Obenrüdener kotten, Wipperkotten, Zoppesmur and much more. Fantastically beautiful our Bergisches Land.

A nice tour near Solingen.

The Wipperkotten grinding shop was open yesterday and the water-powered grinding machines were in operation. (You can have your knives sharpened here on Fridays)

From there it went along the Wupper. Actually only asphalt on this side - but only hit 3 or 4 cars. From time to time you can dodge into the forest, …

Since yesterday's Morgan on the Wupper was so beautiful, it was repeated and extended today.
Again, it was the morning when there wasn't much going on.
All of this in wonderful sunshine and -1 degrees.

July 22, 2025,Mystische Pfade - 02 - Niederbergisch - Mühlen an der Wupper

Since the craftsman finished earlier than planned, I decided to drive to the hiking parking lot near the Wippermühle mill after 10 a.m. The parking lot was almost full. Now for the next tour from the book: Mystical Tours.
Start at the parking lot and immediately arrive at the first highlight – the historic Wipperkotten (a former mill) – even …
