Motorcycle Tour 5 - Tri-city area (west)

You will experience the region in all its diversity on your tour through the west of the tri-city area.

Plenty of inspiration for a longer visit

Admittedly, in order to enjoy all the highlights of this motorcycle tour through the Bergisches Land without rushing, you should plan a longer stay. Known spots and insider tips will prompt you to want to come here again.

A good example is the old town of Gräfrath: a hidden gem, easily reachable from the A 46. Give your car or motorcycle a break here and enjoy a moment for yourself. It’s worth it.

Then perhaps to stroll to the German Blade Museum or to the Solingen Art Museum (Kunstmuseum Solingen) and the Centre for Persecuted Arts (Zentrum für verfolgte Künste).

Wuppertal – Industry, nature and technology 

After a short drive, more highlights await you in the west of Wuppertal. You won't have to wait long for a ride on the suspension railway. If you want to visit the Green Zoo Wuppertal, which is considered particularly beautiful, you’d better plan a little more time.

After your adventures in the city, heading south through villages and forests is a nice contrast. A visit to an old cottage forge will be a trip to a bygone era.

Treat yourself to a detour to the Müngsten Bridge and the Bergische Museumsbahn (heritage tram museum). When you arrive back at Gräfrath's market square at the end of the tour, you'll have earned a little refreshment in one of the welcoming cafés and restaurants.
