April 6, 2026,Schleifkotten Wipperkotten – Wupper-Uferweg Runde von Wupperhänge mit Seitensiefen und der Wupper nördlich Witzhelden und Leichlingen

Unfortunately, mainly along the road. Even though I specified "no" roads as a search criterion. Annoying. It was not good at all for our dog.

Inspired by Summerchild, I also walked along the Wupper today. A great parking lot for hikers and a great place to stop for refreshments. A blueberry pancake at the end, and the tour has a great ending.
