Schloss Burg

Schloss Burg is a hilltop castle reconstructed from the late 19th century in the Solingen district of Burg an der Wupper and in the 16th century was the ancestral seat of Count von Berg, who gave the Bergisches Land its name. It is one of the largest castles in West Germany, now houses a museum and is one of the most popular and most visited cultural sites in the Rhineland. A visit is also worthwhile for people who are not interested in medieval castles, e.g. to enjoy a wonderful view of the Bergisches Land from the adjacent cable car.

Visit to Altenberg Cathedral

The Altenberg Cathedral has been in the municipality of Odenthal since the 13th century.

Over a hundred concerts attract numerous visitors every year. Inside the church, those interested in history can learn a lot about the Bergisch noble families of dukes and counts as well as about the long history of the monastery from the numerous high graves and tombstones of secular and spiritual princes.

The bridge is a tourist magnet at any time of the year and is particularly well-known among railway fans all over the world. The bridge park is a project of the Regionale 2006, an amalgamation of the Bergisch city triangle Remscheid, Solingen and Wuppertal. The parking spaces at that time were banned from the gates of the new park, in the newly designed bank and floodplain zone, sections sloping towards the water alternate with small cliffs, meadows for picnicking and playing with wild meadows and areas of refuge for the animal world.
