Gelpetal between Wuppertal and, Remscheid, Germany - 15th June 2008

By: olgamaus

Hi Mummy,

today the weather became better and we took a walk from Wuppertal-Ronsdorf back to Remscheid. We went with Katja’s fried. We walked through the forrest along the dam of Wuppertal-Ronsdorf back home. The dam is a really small one.

Here you can see us having a little rest on a pile of trunks.

Along the path you can find some charts with information about the forrest. This one is about different trees and their leafes.

We are standing on the concrete dam, you can see here that the dam is really a small one.

Here you can see a popular country inn. It’s existing here for about 100 years.

You can ride horses in this part of the valley. Two of them were tethered in front of the restaurant.

This is a fish pond in the middle of the forrest. Really large trouts are swimming in it.

We are now at “Steffenshammer”, a historical location with a museum. On the right side you can see a water wheel, that was driving hones in ancient times.

This is another building that belongs to this complex. It is typically “Bergisch”. We are here in the region that is called “Bergisches Land”, butn ot because of the many hills and valleys, but it is named after the earl vom Berg who reigned over this region in the early medieval times.

We are all sitting in a big wheel in the front garden of one the houses here.

I will show you some more photos of typical houses, either with schist or truss walls, in any case with green shutters.

But the weather became bad again. We reached the house of Katja’s friend and it started raining again. Inside the house the family’s cat Leona was lying on the window sill. She allowed a photo with me.
