flows through Rommerskirchen, Butzheim and Speck, little reminiscent of the tropics. The Gillbach is fed from the - warm - cooling water of the Niederaussem lignite power station. Since its water has tropical temperatures of around 20 ° C even in winter, it offers good living conditions for fish and plant species from (sub) tropical regions. In the artificially heated water, many exposed, non-native species survive our cold winters and can reproduce. This now also includes the first free-living population of the Marian cichlid found in Europe

A relatively narrow gravel path leads along the Gillbach, so only suitable for mountain bikes and trekking bikes. It's definitely not fun with a racing bike.
But a nice way right next to the Gillbach.

It's a really interesting body of water.
