Further Informations
On the Bergischer Weg (stage 5), several trees have fallen in the Eifgenbach valley on the narrow section between the Schöllerhof junction and Märchenwald, blocking the path. A diversion via the hiking trail running parallel above is now marked with the signpost ‘Bergischer Weg’. Thank you for your understanding. (Status: 24.03.2022)
During the floods in July '22, the bridge at Obenrüdener Kotten was washed away. Therefore, the village of Obenrüden and the Rüdenstein restaurant can only be reached via the Rödeler Brücke bridge in Fähr (via the Untenrüden access route). Alternatively, you can cross the Wupper at the Wupperhof and walk to Obenrüden on the northern side of the Wupper (follow the triangle markings). (Status: 24/02/2022)
