    The stream, lined with alder trees, contrasts with the surrounding beech and spruce forest. In August 2022, little of the stream was visible after the long drought.

      "... The Deilbach is an approximately 21 km long tributary of the Ruhr that rises in Wuppertal-Barmen on the watershed between the Ruhr and Wupper. The mouth lies in the area of the Ruhr, which is dammed to form Baldeneysee.
      The Deilbachtal has a number of geological and historical special features.
      Above all, the natural resources of the valley offered the population, who lived from agriculture, the opportunity to improve their income. Hard coal, ores, sandstone and clay that are close to the surface and were mined here early on have shaped the development and economy in the valley. The water from the Deilbach itself provided the energy to initially power mills and hammer mills. The entire later history of energy production from wood, coal, electricity and nuclear power can be shown here in a small space.
      The valley itself has always served as an important route for transporting the extracted goods and connecting the Ruhr Valley and Wuppertal/Solingen.
      Between Kupferdreh and Rinderhof, numerous landscape and industrial historical relics at the original location bear witness to the agricultural, then commercial, mining and industrial use of the valley.
      The extraction of mineral resources, energy production and transport routes led to the landscape being significantly changed early on. With the operation of the mills in the Middle Ages, the straightening and relocation of the watercourses began. Quarries and mining zones as well as the filling of dumps have changed the topography in the valley. Buildings and transport routes were adapted to the development of technology and take up large areas in the valley area. ..."
