Travelog post for: Paddington Bear

Hi Mummy,
we took a walk today in the neighbour city Solingen, in the valley and hills of the river Wupper. We started our trip in Solingen-Widdert. From here we walked downhill to reach the Wupper valley. In those rural districts you can often find the traditional old houses, called "Bergische Häuser".





This is the river Wupper. About 20 km from here the Wupper will flow into river Rhine close to Leverkusen.



We followed our path uphill until we were about 120 m above the valley. You have great overlook from here.



We walked through the forest, over hill and dale. Sometimes we had to cross smaller creeks.



We took a group photograph ...



... at the foot of this impressive rock.



We had to cross another creek. This is the bridge that was once leading across it.



We had to balance over a few stones instead.

Finally we reached the river Wupper again.





We walked through a hamlet with lots of pretty old houses.





One of the local farmers is selling potatoes, eggs and honey here in this booth. Nobody is watching over the goods here, you can take what you want to buy and put the money into the savings box. We bought potatoes and eggs.



Bye
Paddington Bear
