Travelog post for: Easy

Hi Mummy,
although the weather was bad we took a long walk today in the outskirts of Remscheid. Even Katja's son accompanied us. We went to one of  the nearby valleys.



The first signs of spring were visible.





We reachend an interesting place, hiden in the forest - an historic hammer mill. Iron and steel were produced here since 15th century.



A large millwheel was lying on the ground. We rested here for a while.





Later we explored the estate.





This is the rear side of the house.



Katja told us that there was also a little pond with a weir. Currently the pond was nearly empty.





We left the valley than and walked uphill towards the city centre of Remscheid. The snow nearly melted away last week.





We walked through lovely hamlets.



We also crossed on of the largest valleys, the one where industrialisation began in middle ages. Still nowadays a lot of companies are working here.



From here we had to walk uphill for about half an hour to get back to the city centre on top of its hill.

Bye
