Travelog post for: Virgo

Hi Mummy,
today we were picked up by a friend to take a walk in a nearby forest and to do some shoppings later.

Although Remscheid is an idustrial city, it is surrounded by woodland areas, rural areas, valley and creeks. We went to a district in the West of the municipal area, close to a large woodland area.



Katja told me that Germany's highes railway bridge is connecting Remscheid with the neighbour city Solingen. You can see a small part of it on the following photo.



Due to the bad weather this week there are some creeks running across the hiking paths.



We reached an historic outlook pavilion, built in late 19th century.



The pavilion is situated high above the valley of the river Wupper, flowing in the valley between Remscheid and Solingen.



You have a fantastic view to Muengsten Bridge from here. Muengsten Bridge was built of steel, completed in 1907. It is about 480 m long and 107 m tall. There are extensive repair works going on in the last few years.



We followed our hiking path and found more creeks and waterfalls along the path.



We walked under the bridge.



Katja knows a secret hiking path which is going through the abutment of the bridge. You have a stunning view across the valley from this point.





Our path was leading through a rural area than ...



... and soon some houses came into sight. This farm has a garden full of fruit trees.



We went shopping than.

Bye for now
Virgo
