Dickelsbach Stream

The Dickelsbach is a body of water on the right Lower Rhine. It rises in the Ratingen-Höseler Grünpark Fernholz in the silicate foothills of the Bergisches Land.
The 21.88 km long river takes its course via Lintorf, Duisburg-Süd and flows into the Rhine at Duisburg-Hochfeld.
On its way from the source to the mouth, its structure changes very frequently. It runs both through indigenous forest areas in an almost natural river bed and as a deeply straightened and not very dynamic water body on the edge of settlement.
The Dickelsbach owes its name to the small summer dike (Dickel: small dike) that accompanies its lower course. This dike protected the area in front of Duisburg's old town from flooding.

This meandering stream is simply the Dickelsbach ;-)

The Ratingen Stadtwald is crossed by various streams. It's just nice that the water can flow as it wants here.
