Solingen, Germany - 15th January 2012

By: olgamaus

Hi Mummy,
this is my first day here with fantastic weather, a great reason to take a hiking trip, so we took a long walk along the river Wupper today, in Solingen, the neighbour city. We started our trip in Balkhausen, a small hamlet in this rural area. Here we saw a lot of those typical half-timbered houses.

We also saw cattle, I don't know which sort of them.

Aren't these lovely girls?

Finally we reached river Wupper, it is flowing towards river Rhine.

We reached a hamlet with a funny name: It is called "Rüden" because of the tale of one of the formerly reigns of this region (eventually in middle ages) who met with a riding accident and was saved by his dog.

What a lovely place, I could sit here for hours and enjoy the sunshine.

We decided to walk back. We found an old machine.

Unfortunately we had no more sunshine on the other side of the valley.

We crossed the river here.
