Hello Mummy,
let me show you my latest pictures from today's walk in the lovely surroundings of Remscheid.

We went to the districts in the South of Remscheid, there are also forests and valleys. While we went there we saw lovely old houses.



We reached the bottom of the first valley. You can see that there are housing areas and allotment gardens. They are having lots of allotment gardens here along the steep slopes of the valleys.



When we went uphill to the other side of the valley we saw the city centre.


The central station is nearly opposite of us and you can see all those industrial sites close to the station, mostly steelworks. Here is a zoomed photo.



This is a very famous industrial site, formerly known as Mannesmann Röhrenwerke. Hollow structural sections were created here. A part of the historical factory building is still here, combined with newer buildings.



We walked through a forest than for some time.



Katja told us that we would walk to Eschbachtalsperre than, the oldest drinking water dam in Germany. Before we reached the concrete dam, we came along a large pond.



In a tunnel underneath the A1 motorway we found colourful graffiti.



We climbed a steep path next to the dam and had a good view to the barrier lake than.



The drinking water dam was opened in 1891.



Later we walked through a rural area.



We walked until we reached the district Lennep, about 12 km from our starting point in the city centre. They have a route for cyclists and pedestrians here, also built on a closed railway track. We followed it until we reached the station. From here we went home by bus. What a walk!
