Industrial culture by bike

This tour takes you to the north-east of Solingen via the historic town centre of Gräfrath and the highest point of Solingen at the Gräfrath light tower (Lichtturm) into the Wupper valley. Some of the various old industrial heritage stops around the toll gate and Weyersberg are waiting for you on the way back to the museum.
