Wupperaue

Nature Reserve

14.0 km

Wippertalbahn section Hückeswagen <> Wipperfürth

Highlight • Monument

At the point you can see a lot of the previous track usage. There are many details and tracks have been preserved. Also the staircase to the no evidence of it. The Samba wagon also documents what used to be there and shaped the entire region.
But the Samba cart addresses yet another topic. Here fleeting people were caught after the war and then distributed to NRW. Déjà-vu? Yes exactly. A hot topic. It pays to stop for a moment and think about it.

🌲💧 Wuppertal Dam – Pure nature and tranquil water worlds

Here at the Wuppertal Dam, the world feels so much quieter. The large reservoir, surrounded by dense forests and rolling hills, is a true haven of peace – perfect for anyone looking to escape everyday life. The water glistens in the sun, small waves gently lap against the shore, and the fresh, clear air fills your lungs.

The circular trail around the dam is not only a sporting challenge with its gentle climbs, but also a journey through various natural landscapes: sometimes mossy forests, sometimes open glades, always accompanied by the soothing rippling of the water. Along the way, you'll also discover information panels that provide fascinating details about the history and function of the Wuppertal Dam – built in the 1920s to supply Wuppertal with drinking water and now a nature reserve.

Time and again, the view opens up to the water, which here seems a bit like a silent mirror. Birds circle the water, and with a bit of luck, you might even spot otters or kingfishers.

Ideal for a relaxing bike ride or walk, where your mind and body can recharge simultaneously. 🚴‍♂️🌿

My tip: Pack a picnic and find one of the idyllic spots along the shore – a moment to breathe and simply be.
