Altenberg Abbey was located directly on the Dhünn, for whose Cistercian way of life with water management and fish farming the location on a river was important. In the past, water power was often used along the course of the river. In the meantime, all weirs below the Great Dhünn Dam have been dismantled.

The Dhünn is a 40.02 km long, orographically left and southern tributary of the Wupper. It rises in the Bergisches Land and flows into the Wupper in Leverkusen, immediately before it flows into the Rhine. It is the longest tributary of the Wupper and flows through the Oberbergischer Kreis, the Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis and the independent city of Leverkusen.
