Mettmann is a Rhenish town in North Rhine-Westphalia. It lies east of Düsseldorf and west of Wuppertal.
That’s why we crossed it 6 times on our way to Düsseldorf and back home to Wuppertal.
Every time when we were driving through the town we admired its architecture and cute streets and houses.
In the nearby Neanderthal in 1856 quarry workers discovered the fossilised remains of what became known as the Neanderthal man or Homo neanderthalensis in Feldhof cave.
Unfortunately we hadn’t time to visit the Neanderthal Museum located nearby.
