The Schlingenbach is a 6.2 km long tributary of the Agger in Overath and partly in Engelskirchen. The source of the Schlingenbach is located on the northeast flank of the Kleiner Heckberg (with 348.1 the highest elevation in the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis) at an altitude of 323 m.

With the exception of a short section northeast of the Schlingenthal location in Overath, the entire course of the stream from the source area to the mouth is within the Schlingenbachtal nature reserve.

Hiking

The Schlingenbach valley is largely designated as a nature reserve. The Schlingenbach flows through a wooded area with extensive spruce and beech forests, which also cover most of the valley slopes and are only interrupted by a few hamlets and their grassland areas.
