Village of Rüden in Solingen an der Wupper** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rüden, a picturesque gem on the Wupper, is a true paradise for hikers and nature lovers. Nestled between steep mountains and the idyllic Wupper valley, the town offers a wealth of hiking opportunities that lead through the impressive mountain landscape. 🚶‍♂️ **Hiking routes:** Starting at the Rüden hiking car park, numerous marked paths lead through the farmsteads of Unten- and Obenrüden, past historic half-timbered and slate houses. The circular route from Untenrüden to Wüstenhof and back via Heiler Kotten is particularly recommended. It offers wonderful views of the Rölscheider Berg and the Widderter ridge. 🍽️ **Refreshment options:** After a long hike, the Rüdenstein restaurant and the Rüden inn invite you to linger. The Rüden inn, which has existed for more than 100 years, was originally a stagecoach station with an inn, bakery and grocery store. Here you can enjoy regional specialties in a historic ambience. 🏞️ **Sights:** Particularly noteworthy is the Obenrüdener Kotten, a former Schleifkotten on the Wupper, which bears witness to a rich history. The Rüdenstein Monument, which commemorates a loyal dog that saved his master's life in the winter of 1424, is also a highlight. For anyone who wants to experience the Bergisches Land in its original beauty, Rüden is an absolute must. The combination of breathtaking nature, historical buildings and hospitable refreshments makes this place a perfect destination for day trips and hikes. 👟 Tip: Sturdy shoes are recommended for the hikes.

Just 15 minutes by car from the city center you come to a small idyll...Rüdenstein itself has many half-timbered houses and is located directly on the Wupper...there is also a nice restaurant with a beer garden...it's only pretty crowded on the weekends. ..

Beautiful hiking trail/single trail down to Rüdenstein. You start a few hundred meters on the left side, behind the viewpoint with the mushroom shelter. You can choose between 2 routes. The first is easier with more sharp bends and the second is a few hundred meters behind. Both are fun and end in the same place.

Nice place to visit Great views, great hiking trails, suitable for a quick bike ride. There are nice restaurants down in the valley 🚴👌🌼

(Translated by Google) The staff is very friendly here, unfortunately they were a little understaffed due to the situation, like many other restaurants. A little longer waiting time was made up for by friendliness. A beautiful place with a wonderful view of the Wupper. Again any time... (Original) Das Personal ist hier sehr freundlich, leider waren sie aufgrund der Situation ein wenig unterbesetzt, so wie viele andere Restaurants auch. Eine etwas längere Wartezeit wurde aber durch Freundlichkeit wieder wett gemacht. Ein schöner Platz mit einem herrlichen Blick auf die Wupper. Jederzeit gerne wieder...

Gute Wandermöglichkeiten für Groß und Klein, sowie Möglichkeiten, was essen zu gehen

Schöne Gegend. Perfekt für Ausflüge, Mountainbiken, Wandern, etc.

Es war lecker aber nicht berauschend. Daher nur vier Sterne. Gruß
