It will soon be 100 years since the current districts of Solingen came together to form a large city and one brand, Solingen, city of blades. Almost as old is the Klingenpfad trail, which was established around that time by the Sauerländische Gebirgsverein. It leads around Solingen and is almost 70 kilometres long in total. The average hiking time for the whole route is around 20 hours so it’s worth dividing it into three stages. The regular starting point of the hike is Solingen Gräfrath, but since its a round trip you may start anywhere on the track.
