Remscheid, Germany - 24th June 2012

By: olgamaus

After finishing breakfast we took a walk in the forest. We started our trip in a rural district in the West of the municipal area.

We walked in the valley along river Wupper. You could cross it here.

We saw foxglove in the forest, lovely flowers, but extremely poisonous.

We took a group photo on this cartwheel.

We reached the historical district Unterburg in the neighbour city Solingen. This church was built in late 17th century.

I saw lovely half-timbered houses here. Katja told me that those house are traditional houses, mostly built in late 19th century. They often have green shutters and a green front door.

This creek is flowing into river Wupper here.

This statue is showing a "Kiepenkerl", hard working men who carried all sorts of goods through the rangy landscape in their panniers.

Have a look at this beautiful house!

We still followed river Wupper until we reached this bridge. We crossed the river here and walked back on the other bank.

In the meantime a medieval castle came into sight, Schloss Burg. Unfortunatelay we did not come close enough for a better photo.

Our path led us uphill for some time, in the valley you can see Unterburg.

Here we saw more lovely houses with narrow lanes.

It started to rain than, so we all disappeared into Katja's bag  while she and her friend became wet, we still had to walk back to the car for an hour :)

Bye
