    A particularly beautiful section of the tour is right through a swamp landscape. The path leads over a wooden footbridge past marsh grass pastures. A wooden bench, a "forest sofa", invites you to relax.

      This Walk is really beautiful and of course has the advantage that the entire route is marked. Follow signs: Wasser-Wander-Welt

        "... The Schaagbachtal, located in the natural area of Schwalm-Nette-Platte, is of national importance due to a diversely structured biotope complex with the occurrence of the priority habitats alder and ash floodplain forest and birch moor forest. The area is characterized by a large variety of species and a complete, natural area-typical habitat inventory and is therefore of outstanding importance as a refuge in the natural area.
        Among other things, the Schaagbachtal is a breeding area for black woodpeckers and kingfishers. It is home to extensive, species-rich, brook-influenced alder swamp and floodplain forests in an exemplary formation that is representative of the natural environment. In addition, there are wet grassland and spring areas in the area, but also small areas of moors and wet heaths. It is the habitat of the common wedge-tailed maiden, a species of dragonfly threatened with extinction in NRW, the natterjack toad, the meadow pipit and the royal fern. A characteristic of the area is that the sources of five streams are located here, which have allowed the Schaagbachtal to develop into a species-rich wetland. The stream meanders through wet valleys whose edges can rise up to 20 m high. One of the springs is near Haus Wildenrath south of Wildenrath. Formerly a knight's castle, a Franconian farm was later built here, which became Germany's first environmental education center in the Schwalm-Nette Nature Park at the end of the 1960s. Here nature as well as animals and plants of the farm can be experienced. ..."
