A day in the Bergisches Land: the Wuppertal suspension railway, then Burg Castle and its traditional coffee and cake spread.
Opened in 1901, the Wuppertal suspension railway (Schwebebahn) still glides above the river Wupper today, a unique experience in the world. Your group boards for a comfortable ride through the city, with the option of the Kaiserwagen, the historic car in which Emperor Wilhelm II travelled. In the afternoon, the coach takes you to Schloss Burg in Solingen, the imposing rebuilt castle of the Counts of Berg, which houses a museum. The day ends with the Bergische Kaffeetafel, a generous regional spread of waffles, rice pudding and coffee served from the Dröppelminna, the traditional coffee pot. An original outing about two hours away.
