    A straight, canalized stream that creates a pleasant atmosphere at the bench and accompanies you to Germany's famous westernmost point. A little further on the other side, a small bridge leads you into some natural surroundings. There's also a wooden platform by the bench for those who want to sit and contemplate.

      At the point where this highlight was created (Westzipfel Punkt) it is not the Saeffeler Bach but the Rotenbach/Rode Beek. The Saeffeler Bach flows into the Rotenbach about 2 kilometers further south.

        The Saeffelbach valley "Die Bröök"

        For centuries this has been the name of a forested green strip along the Saeffelbach (Selfkanf dialect de Bääk) with some swampy sections.

        From the previous source (exit towards Schierwaldenrath), this deciduous forest strip stretches across Brüxgen - Breberen - Saeffelen - Höngen - Stein - Havert - to Isenbruch and mouths into Rodebach. Until the straightening that was unfortunately carried out in 1956-1958, "the Bääk" passed through with many bends and congestion, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly flowing but always clean water "Die Bröök", so that smaller fish stocks (sticklebacks, eels) lived here found.
