Wuppertal was created almost 100 years ago from the merger of the cities of Barmen and Elberfeld. The Wupper winds through the city, slopes rise on its banks and form the striking valley.

Many shared apartments are located in the northern part of the city. The trendy and bar district, the Luisenviertel, is right around the corner. There are some forests, valleys and recreational areas around the city where I like to go hiking in the summer.
