"The nature reserve Hexbachtal [identifier MH-005] is a side valley of the Emscher and lies in the border area between Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Oberhausen 4.2 ha). The eponymous Hexbach forms in large parts the border between Mülheim an der Ruhr-Dümpten and Essen-Bedingrade.

The designation as a nature reserve serves in particular to ...

+ Preservation and restoration of the efficiency of the natural balance, especially with regard to the importance of the Bachtal as a biotope composite element of regional importance.

+ Preservation and development of biotopes worthy of protection and because of the importance of the area as a habitat for endangered or threatened animal and plant species and plant communities in NRW.

+ Preservation of the diversely structured landscape (brook valley, woody structures, wet meadows, bodies of water, springs) because of its importance for the landscape as well as because of the diversity, uniqueness and beauty of the landscape structures.

+ Preservation of the Bachtal as a landscape-defining, geomorphological feature.

PARTICULARITIES

+ The valley is mainly used for agriculture.

+ The creek area around 100 meters wide is wooded.

+ The Hexbach is almost 3.4 kilometers long and flows into the Läppkes Mühlenbach after around 1.5 kilometers as the crow flies. "
