Guided Story

See how the sunlight sparkles through the leaves by the riverbank? Did you know that the Wupper was once crucial for blade production in Solingen? Known as the 'City of Blades', Solingen used the Wupper's waters to power the mills that sharpened its renowned knives and swords. Imagine the bustling workshops that once lined these banks. It's hard to picture now, with the peacefulness surrounding you, that the clanging of metal once filled the air here. Look to your left, and you might catch a glimpse of the Siefental, another serene spot perfect for a short exploration. Take a deep breath of the fresh air and savor the tranquility that makes this place so special today.
