Berg Altena

The most striking feature of the district Berg Altena is, coming from town, the climbing road with on both sides a chain of small coloured houses. The roofs of these houses form kind of a giant stepladder.
If you go behind this first row you find simular houses. Not as nice as the ones along the road, but still very picturesque.
At the end of the climbing road are on the left-hand side a few beautifuly restored buildings. And a bit further to the right there are two adjacent buildings, the first one still needs a lot of work, but the second one is already restored in its original state. The difference is remarkable.
