Travelog for: Kevin Kiwi

Tabarz trip to the enchanted forest.

Today I have with me the other ToyVoyagers still looked the Erfurt Cathedral at night.

Hi mom today we visited the pumpkin exhibition in the EGA. 

After the exhibition, we have looked at the Tropical House at the EGA. 

And other beautiful things look yourself

Today we look again at Erfurt.
Erfurt Cathedral and Krämerbridge.

Today we farewell and I may continue to travel with Tiger Lilly to her home.

Hi Mummy,
after a rather short trip I arrived at my new host's home. Because Tiger Lilly was travelling with me, waiting in the box was not boring at all.

A whole flock of ToyVoyagers said Hello to us. There were MiniMarshmallow, Emma Squirrel, Hemming and 3*Euro and of course my new host Katja



Later we shared the sweets we brought with us with Katja and her son.

Hi Mummy,
we took a walk in the afternoon. We are having fantastic weather, although it is rather cold outside, only about 3°C.

The first photos were taken when we left the house.





Most sidewalks are covered with leaves.



We walked downhill to the district Hasten when you can find a lot of old traditional houses.



You can find many of those houses which are covered with slate, they usually have green shutters.







This is a Patrician villa, built in late 18th century. A museum is situated here.







We went further downhill to the bottom of Morsbach valley, one of th oldest parts of the city.

You can see the outskirts of the neighbour city Wuppertal.









This is Morsbach creek, after which this valley was named.









We decided to walk back home than. Soon we reached a housing area.

Hi Mummy,
we decided to visit my host's daughter. She is living in another district of Remscheid, a thirty minutes walk away. First we had to walk downhill.



Along the steep slopes of the hill you can often find allotment gardens.



This is an elementary school.



Here you can also find factory buildings among dwellings.





Unfortunately it started to rain when we enjoyed a cup of coffee, so there was no further walk.

Hi Mummy,
today we met a friend to take a walk in the late morning. The forests are muddy from the rainy weather we had before, so we mostly walked along the streets, this time to the Southern parts of Remscheid.

First I'll show you the station area.





In the background you can see the city centre.





We reached a district with lovely old houses.



To get back to "our" part of the city we went into the forest to cross a valley.





Hidden in the valley you can find the home of a boy scout group.



Almost  home

Hi Mummy,
the weather forecast promised great weather for today, so we decided to take a walk around Muengsten bridge, Germany's highest railway bridge.

Muengsten bridge is connecting the cities of Remscheid and Solingen, crossing the valley of river Wupper.

We walked through the forest, there are some playgrounds. Here we found those rocking sheep.



It only took a short walk to reach the bridge, that means, one of the places where it is fixed to the slope of the valley.





The bridge is 465 m long and 107 m tall at its highest point, built in late 19th century. Here you can see the bridge overspanning the valley, river Wupper underneath the bridge.



Our path was following the valley, with partly rocks along the way.



The first houses of the district Burg came into sight.



On the hill opposite of us Schloss Burg was visible, a medieval castle. This district was named after it.



Burg is one of several historic districts of Solingen, also in the valley of river Wupper.



To get back to the car we walked along the opposite bank of river Wupper, here was the last opportunity to cross the river.





We reached the bottom of the valley than. A leisure park was built under the bridge a few years ago. You can find a crazy golf course here, lawns with benches for relaxing, playgrounds for the kids and restaurants.









This walk took us more than two hours, much more than we had expected

Hi Mummy,
we are having fantastic weather today, so we took a walk to the municipal park in the afternoon.

We came along a large playground.



This is the police headquarter, close to the park.



There is a pond with ducks and turtles in the park.



The municipal park is more or less a landscape park with really old trees.



An observatory is also situated in the park.







This memorial is dedicated to the dead of several wars earlier than WW I. Is is placed in a rose garden. Of course there is not a single blooming rose left in November.



A nursery is also situated in the park, a training company for young people with a poor school diploma or even without any diploma.



Now as it became darker it also became cold, so we hurried home.

Hi Mummy,
it snowed during the night!



Katja promised that we would go out later.

Kevin Kiwi

We went out about two hours later. Unfortunately it was not cold enough for the snow, it already was melting slowly when we went out. But nontheless we had a lot of fun in the snow. Soon I was wet and cold (hopefully I will not get a cold!)



We walked along the so called "Route of Tools", a former track for freight trains. Many tracks were closed and were built to lanes for pedestrians and cyclists. Remscheid is an industrial city, famous for the tool producing industry here. Building the route was sponsored by local companies, so it was called "Route of Tools".







The route is about 5 km long, following the former track from the central station to the district Hasten. You can find a lot of industrial complexes along the route, as well newer ones as historical ones. This complex was a slaughterhouse once.



The closer we came to Hasten, the route was crossing more dwellings than industrial sites.



Someone is collecting souvenirs from the former railway track





You can also find signs with the logos of sponsoring companies here.





Later we went home through the municipal park.

Hi Mummy,
last weekend's snow melted away really soon, but today it started to snow again. Today it is about freezing point outside, so the snow will not melt too soon.



We went to the municipal park. Here you can see one of the churches in the city centre.



Soon we reached the park. All those snow covered trees and bushes are looking beautiful.



I played in the snow with  3*Euro and  Suny.
