Two names, one brook. In Lower Saxony he is called Obere Dumme, in Saxony-Anhalt he is called Harper Mühlenbach. The middle of the stream formed the inner German border. Well guarded for decades and without any expansion measures, the stream was left to its own devices. And so his bed meanders through an intact piece of nature.
