Remscheid, Germany - 14th May 2009

By: olgamaus

Hi Mom,

I am not the only ToyVoyager here. I already met Roo, the kangaroo, a witch named Gui with her cat Migui, Ewan E. Ewok and karlheinz, a cute teddy bear.

We took a first walk in the afternoon. Katja wanted to show us a bit of the vicinity of our current home. Katja told us that this part of the city was not destroyed in World War II, so you can find many pretty old houses here.

We went to the Trasse des Werkzeugs  (Route of Tools) than. The Trasse des Werkzeugs is a lane for pedestrians and cyclists which was built on a closed railway track. It was sponsored by local tool producing companies. This lane is about 5 km long and is leading from the central station to the district Hasten. Along the route you can find signs which are showing the logos of the sponsors, also artwork.

The first one of those signs is showing the city arms of Remscheid.

Here you can see that this lane really was a railway track once.

This is a bench made of a gigantic screw clamp.

On our way back home we walked through the municipal garden. They have a rose garden here. The roses are not blooming yet, In the background you can see a momorial, dedicated to the deads of several wars before World War I.

That's all for today. I'm really tired now.
