The Schmechtingsbach, a former Köttelbecke (canalised sewage disposal), was re-created by the Emschergenossenschaft near-natural and naturally flowing again. The people in the Emscher region get a river back again with great bike and leisure trails, the Emscher region changes your face, and that can be clearly seen and felt on this section along the Schmechtingsbach. This section is great for cycling and hiking.
