June 28, 2025,Müngstener Brückenweg – Müngstener Brücke Runde Wiescheid (Parken)

We followed the corkscrew route to Müngsten Bridge Park, where the impressive Müngsten Bridge can be seen. Unfortunately, the transporter bridge is currently out of service, so please do not follow my route, as there are stairs. You should drive back from Müngsten Bridge Park to get to the other side of the Wupper. The tour then continued along the …

October 8, 2024,Auf Bahntrassen und entlang von Itter und Wupper um Solingen

I took advantage of the dry, warm and milky-sunny October day for a bike tour around Solingen. I took the train to Solingen Grünewald and back. I was able to "enjoy" the usual problems (cancelled trains, faulty or too small elevators, too short and therefore overcrowded trains, broken train toilets ...). You have to be happy when you get to …
