Remscheid, Germany - 1st March 2009
By: olgamaus
Hi Mummy,
today it was much warmer than this week and the sun was shining. So Katja took me, Louis, Womat, Kelly and Sweetsy out for a walk. When the weather is good Katja seems to be unstoppable
She decided to show us Germany's highest railway bridge, Muengsten Bridge. Of course we walked there through the forrest.
Here you can see allotment gardens in a district called "Gueldenwerth".
We walked through a really pastoral area. Doesn't it look nice here? Only a few kilometres apart from the town centre.
We went into the forrest than.
On the next photo you can see how steep it's going downhill here.
We saw a collection of nest boxes for several sorts of birds.
We reached a viewpoint and saw Muengsten Bridge for the first time, at least a little piece of it.
We rested here on a bench, enjoying the sun.
At the next viewpoint we could see the bridge.
Muengsten Bridge is made of steel. It is 107 m high and spans the valley of river Wupper, which is marking the border between Remscheid and the neighbour town Solingen.
The bridge is 465 m long and was completed in 1897 A.D.
Katja knows a not very common path which is leading through the bricked pillars . From here you have an fantastic view.
... and here the other side.
Just above my heads were the railway tracks.
We walked downhill than, heading for the valley. We walked under the bridge, this time clearly lower than before.
Here you can see the River Wupper, running underneath the bridge, which is almost invisible because of back light.
We reached the valley than and took the following photo on a small bridge.
Half an hour ago we walked along the cute pavilion you can see in the background.
Underneath the bridge a leisure park was established. You can find restaurants here, lawns for relaxing, playgrounds for the kids and more.
After more than two and a half hour walking we decided to go home by bus. Otherwise we would have had to walk uphill for rmore than an hour.
The bus stop is really close to Katja's home. I'm really tired now. I'll have another piece of our chocolate cake and go to bed than.
Bye
Fluffytail.
