In Rheinisch-Bergisch Velbert is situated the book town of Langenberg. Twice a year it stages a special book market, which offers visitors the possibility to look for antique books, old engravings, charts, rarities and valuable treasures, displayed by over 20 second hand bookshops in the historic town centre with its winding alleyways and old half-timbered houses.
