The City of Blades: Tradition That Cuts.
Solingen carries the title “City of Blades” for good reason. For centuries, world-class knives, scissors, and blades have been crafted here. Anyone wanting to learn more about this tradition should visit the German Blade Museum in Gräfrath.
Here you’ll find not only historic blades but also modern forging artistry. And strolling through the historic district of Gräfrath feels like stepping back in time. Half-timbered houses, narrow lanes, and traditional charm define the area.
Pure Nature: Hiking, Bridges, and Botany.
Solingen sits in the heart of the Bergisches Land. That means green hills, forests, and hiking trails as far as the eye can see.
Müngsten Bridge – Germany’s highest railway bridge. An impressive structure that’s a must-see. Perfect for a walk or hike along the Wupper River.
Burg Castle – Just a few kilometers away. One of Germany’s largest restored castle complexes. With views over the Bergisches Land.
