Travelog post for: Tucker

Hi Mummy,
today we had fantastic weather, so we took a walk in the outskirts of Remscheid. We started in the district Lennep, one of the historic parts of the city. Soon we left the city area and walked through rural areas.





We reached an upstream temporary dam, it belongs to Wupper dam.



We followed a path along a now closed railway track.



This is the old railway building.



We walked through an old worker's housing estate. They once belonged to a cloth mill.





In the forest we  found lots of blooming trees and bushes, like this hawthorn.



We enjoyed the warm sunshine







We also took a walk in the city centre of Lennep. Here you can find an historic city core, most  houses were built in late 18th century after a great fire. You can find typical "Bergische Häuser" here - mostly half-timbered houses and houses which are covered with slate, with characteristic green shutters.



This is "Klosterkirche", a former church of an abbey. Nowadays it is a cultural centre and a lovely restaurant.











This was a lovely trip,

Bye
Tucker
