Excursión ciclista de un día de Solingen a Wuppertal

Hop on your bike in Solingen, the “City of Blades” (famous for its knives and cutlery), and cruise north to Wuppertal—home of the unique Schwebebahn, the hanging monorail! This 22 km route is ideal for riders who like a bit of variety, with over 98% on paved surfaces and the majority winding along pleasant bike paths and quiet roads.

You’ll feel a little workout with about 240 meters of climbing, but the hills aren’t too steep, and there’s even more descent than ascent, so you’ll get to roll down into Wuppertal at the end. Enjoy stretches of countryside and glimpses of the surrounding Bergisches Land. The route stays mostly away from traffic, making it a relaxing trip for regular cyclists. Once in Wuppertal, be sure to check out the monorail or grab a coffee in the vibrant city center before heading back.
