    Tips

    Headwaters beautifully situated in a small forest, criss-crossed by springs.
    As a result of lignite mining south of the Schwalbe catchment area and the associated swamping measures, some of these have dried up. Today, the spring discharge in the Genhof area is carried out by artificially introducing sump water.
    In the forest area you will find the Tüschenbroich Castle and two water mills.
    Definitely worth seeing!

      The Schwalm rises in the village of Geneiken, quite unspectacular and later becomes a stream.
