The new Königshöhe forest climate trail begins here. At each of its stations there is a lot of educational information about the forest.

Selma-Schonung Memorial Stone

Highlight • Monument

Selma von der Heydt (1862-1944)
"Selma von der Heydt also shared her social attitude, as I said, with her husband. The preservation of green areas in the rapidly increasing settlement of the Wuppertal was one of their joint projects and create hiking trails, like in Mirker Hain, where road stones bear the initials of Selma von der Heydt.

A hidden memory of the banker who gave Wuppertal Elberfeld many pictures for the museum. His son was also a great art collector. On Monte Veritas many artists and thinkers of their time gathered in his hotel. Controversial is his role as a banker in the Nazi era.
