Remscheid, Industrial city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Description
Remscheid is a city in the Düsseldorf administrative district, sitting at 328 meters elevation and divided into four urban districts. Two-thirds of the municipal area is forested, giving the landscape a green character.
History
The settlement grew from an 11th-century estate and received town rights in 1808. In 1929, the neighboring towns of Lennep and Lüttringhausen were incorporated, expanding the urban area considerably.
Culture

Practical
The Werkzeugtrasse, a former railway line converted into a cycle path, connects different parts of town through green corridors. The route offers an easy way to explore the wooded parts of the area.
