"In 2012 and 2013, the so-called Hufer Bachtal was renaturalized. This meant that the stream was optimized (preventing further deepening by reinforcing the bed and raising the streambed), culverts were repaired or renewed, and large stands of spruce trees were removed. Some root trunks were also removed. As a result, the valley has greatly improved its overall reputation and has also become significantly brighter and more open. Of course, this also incurred considerable costs, some of which also came from subsidies. Finally, the goal is to strive for sensible ecological use of the valley to ensure optimal preservation. It is particularly important that the Westerwaldsteig trail runs through a large part of the Hufer Bachtal in this part of the municipality."
