On the aptly named Skywalk, sun worshippers can walk 16 meters \u201cinto the sky\u201d above the wooded slopes of the city. And from here, they can enjoy the very best view of the surrounding area. And all without a single step! At its highest point, there are six meters between the Skywalk and the ground!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\">More information at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wuppertal.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.wuppertal.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"inline-post clearfix\"><div class=\"see-also byline\">See Also<\/div><div id=\"block-wrap-51529\" class=\"block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-51529 block-wrap-classic columns__m--1 elements-design-1 block-ani block-skin-0 tipi-box block-wrap-thumbnail ppl-m-1 clearfix\" data-id=\"51529\" data-base=\"0\"><div class=\"tipi-row-inner-style clearfix\"><div class=\"tipi-row-inner-box contents sticky--wrap\"><div class=\"block block-23 clearfix\"><article class=\"tipi-xs-12 clearfix with-fi ani-base tipi-xs-typo split-1 split-design-1 loop-0 preview-thumbnail preview-23 elements-design-1 post-11807 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-cities category-north-rhine-westphalia tag-city-trip tag-north-rhine-westphalia tag-west\" style=\"--animation-order:0\"><div class=\"preview-mini-wrap clearfix\"><div class=\"mask\"><a href=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/en\/11-things-to-do-in-wuppertal\/\" class=\"mask-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wuppertal-schwebebahn-sommer-c-simon-wierzba-unsplash-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load  wp-post-image\" alt=\"Die Wuppertaler Schwebebahn in hellem Blau f\u00e4hrt von links nach rechts vor einem geziegelten Industriebau vorbei; im Vordergrund etwas Begr\u00fcnung\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wuppertal-schwebebahn-sommer-c-simon-wierzba-unsplash-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wuppertal-schwebebahn-sommer-c-simon-wierzba-unsplash-293x293.jpg 293w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wuppertal-schwebebahn-sommer-c-simon-wierzba-unsplash-390x390.jpg 390w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wuppertal-schwebebahn-sommer-c-simon-wierzba-unsplash-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wuppertal-schwebebahn-sommer-c-simon-wierzba-unsplash-900x900.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wuppertal-schwebebahn-sommer-c-simon-wierzba-unsplash-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load  wp-post-image\" alt=\"Die Wuppertaler Schwebebahn in hellem Blau f\u00e4hrt von links nach rechts vor einem geziegelten Industriebau vorbei; im Vordergrund etwas Begr\u00fcnung\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wuppertal-schwebebahn-sommer-c-simon-wierzba-unsplash-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wuppertal-schwebebahn-sommer-c-simon-wierzba-unsplash-293x293.jpg 293w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wuppertal-schwebebahn-sommer-c-simon-wierzba-unsplash-390x390.jpg 390w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wuppertal-schwebebahn-sommer-c-simon-wierzba-unsplash-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/wuppertal-schwebebahn-sommer-c-simon-wierzba-unsplash-900x900.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div><div class=\"meta\"><div class=\"byline byline-2 byline-cats-design-1\"><div class=\"byline-part cats\"><a href=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/en\/cities\/\" class=\"cat\">Cities<\/a><\/div><span class=\"byline-part separator separator-date\">&middot;<\/span><span class=\"byline-part date\"><time class=\"entry-date published dateCreated flipboard-date\" datetime=\"2023-04-24T09:45:00+02:00\">24.

Completely unjustified, in our opinion. The pearl of East Westphalia shines as a city of culture and soccer. The city&#8217;s landmark is the clearly visible Sparrenburg castle. It&#8217;s restored medieval walls have shaped the city&#8217;s skyline for more than 750 years and have seen many a sunset. But that doesn&#8217;t matter, because they are always beautiful. The best view is from the tower. But beware, it is only open until 6 p.m., so you need to plan ahead to catch the sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\">More information at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bielefeld.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.bielefeld.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"787\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bielefeld-sparrenburg-sunset-c-teutoburger-wald-tourismus-dominik-ketz-1024x787.jpg\" alt=\"A mighty castle complex with the foundations of four round towers at the corners, seen from a bird's eye view.
