    In order to have a nice overview of the nature reserve Muhlau from above, it is recommended to follow the train tracks above the Muhlau and to go up the path to the right of the tunnel. A great panoramic view of the Siegtal!

      Path across the fields of the nature reserve. Idyllic nature in the Siegschleife Muhlau.

        Beautiful meadows on the Sieg, which are under nature protection. There is a gray heron colony there and there is an explanation board. Several benches invite you to take a short break.

            Here you can ride a bike very well and also take a walk. The nature of the path consists mostly of forest and meadow.

              This NSG was set up for the gray herons within the Siegschleife around the Muhlau.

                  The Muhlau nature reserve can only be reached by car via Wallmenroth. In the Muhlau there is a horse farm. The Scheuerfeld Schützenhaus is located on the Sieg. The Muhlau can also be reached on foot from Scheuerfeld via a steel bridge. Gray herons are often seen in the Muhlau. With a bit of luck you can also spot the rare kingfishers. The Muhlau is also popular with anglers.
