With spring-like temperatures and glorious sunshine, I set off to explore the Bergisches Land Trail #3. The starting and finishing point is the market square in Wipperfürth, perhaps familiar to some from the Bergisches Land 50 hiking trail, around which several inviting restaurants and cafes are located.

From the market square in Wipperfürth it goes about 2.5 km uphill, past the Sonnenschein farm to the Ommer Kreuz. The path leads over the Blumberger Heide into the Neyebachtal and to the Neyetalsperre. We return to Wipperfürth via Hasselblick and Harhausen.

Where the forests are still rustling.....While the X-ray trail is still waiting to be completed, today, with the weather forecast being reasonably good, I decided to take the "home route" of the forays.

After a short search we found the hiking sign and were initially guided out of Wipperfürth. After about 4-5 km you reach the Neyetalsperre. The dam is crossed and we continue …

"Even the longest journey begins with a single step." – Lao Tzu. And he was right, today, my dears, we are taking Route 3, the way home to Wipperfürth. "Where the forests still rustle, the nightingale sings, the mountains tower high, the anvil clangs..." Thus begins the Bergisches Heimatlied, whose verses accompany the hiker on his "journey home." Wipperfürth lies …
