Tips from the Community

PeterH65 (a.k.a. "Waldorf")
May 16, 2026, Former Mine Railway Track

The "former mine railway line on the Brölbach" is historically the legendary Bröltalbahn (affectionately called "Brölbähnchen" by locals). The route connected the ore mines and quarries in the Bergisches Land region with the Rhine from 1862 onwards and is considered the first public narrow-gauge railway in Germany. https://ortsgemeinde-asbach.de/eintrag/broeltalbahn-museum-asbach https://www.bilderbuch-ruppichteroth.de/geschichte/broeltalbahn-1862-1954/691870-streckenaufnahme-ruppichteroth-waldbroel.html

The Catholic church in Wissen was unfortunately considerably damaged from the inside by a fire in February 2023. From the outside, the church has a striking appearance with its pink paintwork.

Interesting rock formations that appear mystical and rustic. The mine railway used to run along here during the ore mining era. Exciting!

Nice sculptures, it probably represents the shift change in the rolling mill. Unfortunately there is a lack of information.
