    Hiking

    The Saalbach rises below the Ronsdorf comprehensive school, flows through the small but fine Ronsdorf dam and finally flows into the Gelpe.
    Together with this, it forms a protected running water system that offers biotopes for rare animal and plant species.
    The different habitats (e.g. damp and wet meadows, alluvial forest, etc.) are explained on display boards.
    Other display boards tell the story of the old hammer works and grinding huts, which inspired the Bergische steel and tool industry through the use of water power.
