    Hiking

    The Gießbach rises in the Forsbach Forest and ends in a small reservoir just before Heumar. It meanders across the Königsforst.

    Hiking

    The Giesbach is an approximately 8.3 km long river that rises in the Königsforst north of Forsbach at the eastern start of the Brück-Forsbacher-Weg.
    The stream runs in a southwesterly direction and reaches the water treading area on Rath-Forsbacher Weg. The stream then crosses under Rösrather Straße and the federal highway 3. In the Wahner Heide it flows south of the pioneer training pool 3 and crosses under Bensberger Straße and the Heumarer Mauspfad. On the grounds of Röttens Castle in Rath/Heumar it is divided into a main branch and a side branch, both of which seep away into ponds.
