The nature reserve Kollen- and Westerbachtal consists of two parts. The western part begins in the area between Hufe and Oberkollenbach and then leads continuously to Offermannsheide. The eastern part has its origin in Niederkollenbach and ends at Engeldorf. The interruption is caused by a section of the stream that is not under nature protection and is also close to nature. In both parts of the area, the stream mainly flows through forest.
