Wuppertal, Germany - 2nd August 2015

By: olgamaus

Hi Mum,
today we started the day really comfortably and were picked up by a friend to take a longer walk in the surroundings.

The first picture was taken after 10 minutes walking, still close to the railway track.

This was looking much better, those woodlands in the background  :D

Soon we reached the forest.

Once more we had to walk uphill and were rewarded by a great overview across the city in the valley.

Later we changed from the previous path to another one, also a former railway track. This one is leading across the zoo.

We walked on a bridge across the tigers enclosure. Unfortunately we did not see one of them.

There is a really funny sign :D

We left this lane in the so called "Zoo Quarter", a housing area with lots of lovely mansions and villas (one of the most costly residental areas in Wuppertal).

Hollyhocks were blooming everywhere.

We walked towards the Schwebebahn.

We came along an interesting building - the Stadion am Zoo, a stadium which was opened in 1924, it is under monument protection.

From here we went home by Schwebebahn.

Bye
Taylor
