The river is not navigable and is located in the former Duchy of Berg. Before industrialization, the water was used for bleaching. Early industrialization profited from water power provided by the many rivulets to the Wupper. It is crossed by the highest railroad bridge in Germany near Müngsten, between Remscheid and Solingen. A few miles further down, Schloss Burg is located on a hill overlooking the river. The river enters the Rhine river in Leverkusen, south of Düsseldorf. |
