Wuppertal to Solingen
Looking for a scenic ride between two of North Rhine-Westphalia’s characterful towns? Head out from Wuppertal, famous for its quirky suspended monorail (the Schwebebahn) and lush valleys, and pedal south toward Solingen, globally known as the “City of Blades” for its centuries-old cutlery and knife-making tradition.
The ride covers about 22 km with lots of smooth, paved surfaces, making it a pleasant route for most cyclists. Most of your journey follows quiet paths and peaceful roads, letting you enjoy the rolling countryside with only a few uphills to get your heart pumping (expect around 290 meters total ascent).
As you roll into Solingen, take a breather—maybe grab a coffee or check out the historic old town before heading back or exploring more. All in all, it’s a fantastic ride for anyone keen to link two distinctive Ruhr area cities while soaking in river views, wooded hills, and a dash of local culture.
