Tips

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.

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