Wiesenkotten Bridge over the Wupper River

Highlight • Bridge

The Wupperbrücke to Wiesenkotten is a steel / wooden bridge and leads between the Müngstener bridge and Solingen Castle on the Wupper. Very quiet and shady area, great to take a break even in high heat.

View of the Wupper River

Highlight (Segment) • River

The landscape of the Wupper valley is extraordinarily beautiful. It is hard to imagine that there was once an intensively used commercial landscape here. Today the water is clean again and nature has recovered.

Müngsten Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Müngsten Bridge is truly an impressive structure. It is 465 meters long and leads at a height of 107 meters over the valley and the bridge park. The Brückenpark is just as worthwhile and offers many opportunities such as hiking, mountain biking, stopping off, relaxing and simply enjoying the beautiful landscape.

View of the Müngsten Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Simply beautiful 😍 Great way, from the castle, through the forest, along the Wupper and to the bridge. Super, the crossing with the hand-driven train to the other bank 💪 Two completely different sides and ways to do a round. Cable car to the castle, cafes and restaurants are also on site ☝️😉

Diederich Temple overlooking the Müngsten Bridge and the Wupper

Highlight • Viewpoint

The short detour from the cycle path to the Diederich Temple is worth it just for the view. A view of Wupper and the bridges is fantastic.

Beautiful trail along the Wupper

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful paths along the Wupper.
It's best to hike during the week when there aren't so many people out and about.

April 30, 2023,Schöner Weg entlang der Wupper – Unterburg Runde von Burg

The tour profile was already a challenge, but it certainly wasn't the last time. One of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful hike so far. Definitely recommended, but exhausting. Finally, reward them with a Bergisch waffle.🙃🎂

The weather was really kind to us again. ☀️
And the tour was absolutely fantastic. Uphill, downhill, water, forest, hills, sun, clouds, and moon—it had it all. And finally, we took the cable car from Unterburg to Oberburg.
We really enjoyed it and it was very entertaining.

New Year's hike.
Today, after a long time, I walked along the Wupper again. In Unterburg, the cable car to Burg Castle was not yet in operation, otherwise I might have made a detour there.
I didn't want to walk up today.
There is another Diederich stamp near Burg Castle. I only knew the one at Müngstener Brückenpark.

You should do something good for yourself, so I treated myself yesterday.
But I couldn't go on the trip until today...
Packed the car and set off for a good 2 hours towards Solingen.
The destination was the Müngstener Brückenpark.
What an impressive structure, the highest railway bridge in Germany is the Müngstener Brücke die-muengstener-bruecke.de
I had previously thought about …

The starting point is the large Müngsten car park at the northern end of the Müngsten Bridge Park. It goes up into the forest to the Diederich Temple. Built as a lookout point by a wealthy Remscheid businessman, it offers a first view of the Müngsten Bridge and the Wupper. You pass under the bridge and are happy when a …

We have postponed this tour to the Bergisches Land twice in the last few weeks due to constant rain - today we start with 1 degree, blue sky and bright sun at P Müngstener Brückenpark. Our path leads directly to the banks of the Wupper, the birds are chirping and there is a rustling and splashing from the rocky Wupper …

Today we went from the Müngsten Park car park along the Wupper to Unterburg. A very nice tour with almost always a view of Wupper. The dogs were also tired of water 😅. In several places small streams crossed the path or even took over it entirely. Only Komoot once again had a life of its own, and the altitude …
