The full monty: A road trip around the tri-city area offers a delightful mix of excitement and relaxation. 

City – countryside – river: experience and enjoy the tri-city area at close quarters

Superlatives should be used sparingly, but Wuppertal has really earned the right to be called unique. You can experience the full diversity of this mix of cities between Vohwinkel and Barmen. A trip on the suspension railway is not only worth it for the view. The word unique also applies to many of its train stations,

making the transition to nature all the more surprising. The route south via Beyenburg is appealing not just to car drivers. It is also lends itself to a motorcycle tour through the Bergisches Land. Highlight: The old towns of Remscheid-Lennep and Solingen-Gräfrath offer bikers welcome opportunities to take a relaxing break in tranquil Bergisch surroundings.

Fancy some industrial culture in the Bergisch tri-city area? 

And occasional evidence of the trade that made this region famous all over the world: To the east, weavers have used the water power of small streams for centuries. To the west, you’ll pass Solingen, the city of blades. In between, a leap into the Middle Ages high above at Schloss Burg and then on to a masterpiece of technical engineering – Müngsten Bridge.

Numerous museums on your route guarantee lots of eye-opening experiences. And where cloth was once woven and blades forged, you can now enjoy some rustic hospitality. How about a real Bergische Kaffeetafel (coffee and snacks), for instance?
