The Eschbach is ultimately a tributary of the Weser west of Roetgen, near Petergensfeld.
Due to its bacteriological purity, the water from the High Fens and thus also the water from the Weser is used to supply drinking water.

Here the circulatory canal that holds the water of the Weser, on Belgian territory, flows into the Steinbach, which flows over the Eschbach into the old Weser bed from Roetgen, which has taken in new water by then.

The flood lock between the higher Weser and the Steinbach to regulate the water level in the fens. Now (Sept) little Weser water flows to the Steinbach. The other photos show the winter flood!
