The City of Blades Solingen. Between craftsmanship & nature.
Solingen has stood for genuine craftsmanship, precision and tradition for centuries. But there is much more behind its reputation as a knife and cutlery metropolis. One highlight is Schloss Burg, which towers high above the Wupper and looks like something out of a fairy tale. Medieval walls, great views and a cable car ride make the visit an experience - for families, history buffs and romantics alike. All around, nature invites you to take a deep breath: The Sengbachtalsperre dam and the surrounding forests offer quiet paths, expansive views and the perfect setting for a little time out. Solingen combines history, nature and craftsmanship - genuine, lively and surprisingly diverse.
