Package holiday to Bergisches Land

The Bergisches Land, east of Cologne, is a surprisingly green and hilly low mountain landscape, named not after the mountains, but after the historical Duchy of Berg. The region between the Wupper, Sieg, and Ruhr rivers covers around 3,600 square kilometers and offers a diverse cultural landscape with forests, reservoirs, and the characteristic slate houses with their black and white facades.

Wuppertal is the cultural center with the world-famous suspension railway, which has been hovering over the Wupper since 1901 and offers a unique public transport experience. Solingen is the city of blades with a centuries-old tradition of cutlery, while Remscheid is the center of German tool manufacturing. Together, they form the Bergisches Städtedreieck.

The nature of the Bergisches Land delights with over 20 reservoirs — including the large Dhünn Reservoir and the Wuppertal Reservoir — which invite hiking, cycling, and water sports. The Bergische Panoramasteig leads through the most beautiful landscapes of the region over 244 kilometers. The Bergisches Land Nature Park and the Siebengebirge Nature Park protect rare habitats.

The Bergische Kaffeetafel is a culinary institution: An opulent table with hearty and sweet dishes, from rye bread and liver sausage to waffles with hot cherries and cream, accompanied by coffee from the traditional Dröppelmina, the Bergische coffee pot. This hospitality makes the Bergisches Land an authentic and undiscovered travel destination.

Bergisches Land particularly impresses with fascinating culture, breathtaking nature, family-friendly offers. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
