Ford across the Wupper
Wipperfürth was founded at the intersection of the Bergische Eisenstraße leading to Remscheid and the Heerweg running from Cologne, which crossed the Wupper at a flat point.
As part of the Wupper river restoration project, a ford has been reconstructed there. Now the river can be crossed on large stones without getting wet – provided it is not in flood.
This recreated ford is part of the Bergisches Land hiking trail No. 3, the A scenic route through the local area, and also great fun for young and old.
