Radevormwald: Oberbergisches Land Hilltop Town on the Wupper Headwaters
Radevormwald sits at roughly 380 metres elevation in the Oberbergischer Kreis of Nordrhein-Westfalen, earning it the local nickname "Stadt auf der Hoehe" (town on the heights). The Wupper river has its headwaters in the surrounding hills before flowing west through Wuppertal to the Rhine. About 24,100 people live here. The Wuppertalsperre reservoir south of town provides drinking water and recreational opportunities.
Remscheid is adjacent to the west. Wipperfuerth lies to the east. The Bergisches Land terrain here is deeply dissected by stream valleys, with mixed forest on the slopes and small meadows in the valleys. The town was historically part of the Bergisch metalworking tradition, producing locks, tools, and fittings. Some niche manufacturers continue today.
