Guided Story
Can you hear the calming sound of the river? The Wupper has its own story to tell here. Behind you, the expansive meadows bloom into a sea of wildflowers come springtime. Look to your left, where the trees grow thick – that's where the kingfishers often hide, quick and strikingly beautiful. This nature reserve isn't just a haven for wildlife, but for us humans too. If you stroll further down the river, you'll come across the Wupper Island, a little paradise for nature lovers. It's a place to breathe deeply and let the diversity of nature wash over you.
