View of the Wupper from the Friedrichsaue Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

In the south of Solingen, the Wupper forms the natural border to Leichlingen. From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the river in both directions.

Wupper River Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

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.

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.
