Guided Story
Imagine standing here in front of one of the oldest bridges in the area, a structure that has weathered many storms. Can you hear the gentle flow of the Wupper beneath you? This bridge was constructed between 1846 and 1849, during the peak of the industrial revolution. Look to your left, where the Morsbach flows into the Wupper – it's a spot where history and nature meet. There's a rumor that Napoleon's troops might have camped nearby, which is how the bridge got its name, although there's no evidence of that. If you look south, you'll see the Brückenpark Müngsten, a perfect place for a stroll. Let the history resonate with you as you continue your journey.
