At this point, the river divides for the first time in the Northern and Southern Düssel. Both streams will share again later. From the northern Düssel the Kittelbach branches off, from the southern Düssel the Brückerbach.

Hiking
The Düssel Divide at Höherhof is an important hydrological point where the Düssel River divides into two branches. This divide has historical and technical significance and has shaped the landscape and water flow for centuries.
Originally created in the Middle Ages, the river division was regulated by human interventions such as weirs and dams to prevent flooding, supply water to mills, and protect agricultural land. Today, the water flow is controlled by stable bank reinforcements and weirs that regulate water levels and provide relief during floods.
