Probably the most famous trail between Beyenburg and Radevormwald. Starts off very flowing and becomes increasingly more challenging. Ends with a steep descent to the Wupper.

At the very bottom, work has already begun on cutting up the fallen trees. Now there isn't just one trunk at a time, but several parts that you have to climb over. But maybe they will be gone soon and the steep part will continue. Let's just hope that no heavy equipment is used and the trail is preserved.
