Hi Mummy,
although we are still having winter instead of spring we took a walk in the city centre. You can see my current home situated beyond the little park.
Close to the station there is a large intersection.
This bridge is for pedestrians, leading towards the station.
The Route of Tools (Trasse des Werkzeugs) is starting close to the station. We decided to walk along this former, now closed railway track which was built to a lane for pedestrians and cyclists. It is about 5 km long, following the former freight train track from the station to the district Hasten.
Remscheid is famous for its tool producing industry. Companies sponsored conversion, that's why it was called "Route of Tools".
You can find recreation areas here ...
... and lots of industrial buildings, both historical buildings and those of still working companies. You can see the former slaughterhouse on the next photo, now several offices and crafts enterprises are situated here.
You can also find large signs along the lane, showing the logos of sponsoring companies.
One of those signs is showing the coat of arms of Remscheid.
No doubt that this is a working area!
There is also artwork along the route, here we found a wrench pattern stamped into the tarmac.
We went home than, hoping that we will have spring soon!
Bye
Easy
