15 Langenfeld-Reusrath to Solingen

Langenfeld-Reusrath to Solingen

From Reusrath, the path initially runs more or less parallel to Europe’s no. 1 artery, the BAB A3, which we finally cross at the Further Moor Nature Reserve (Naturschutzgebiet Further Moor).

Behind the Friends-of-Nature house (Naturfreundehaus) Leichlingen we walk across the wonderful Langenfeld sand hills for a while, then through the Leichlingen sand hills - fun in the dunes in the middle of the Rhineland (Rheinland)!

Behind the “Haus Gravenberg” hotel we pass by the Solingen naturist association (Nudistenverein von Solingen), with the motto “those who arrive, stay” (“Wer kommt der bleibt”). Behind the “Schwanenmühle”, a former country restaurant, we pass the picture-postcard village of Krüdersheide, before we head into the “real” heath: the Ohligser Heide Nature Reserve (Naturschutzgebiet Ohlsiger Heide).

At the Engelsberger Hof leisure centre, we can take advantage of the park facilities, relax in the Silesian tavern (Schlesische Schänke) and have fun in the gigantic playground – let out the child within!

The stage finishes at the St. Lukas Hospital (St. Lukas-Krankenhaus) in Solingen.
