    Hiking

    It's the beginning of 2023 and the renaturation of the Niers has probably only just begun because it's still in its old bed

    The Niers River flowing through Bresgespark has been completely renaturalized. Numerous meanders crisscross the area and are already being used by birds.

    A wetland with pathways has been created on the 25-hectare site.

    The Niers river restoration project in Bresgespark, Mönchengladbach, was completed in spring 2024. Approximately 3.7 km of the river were reconstructed and designed to be more natural. This restored a floodplain area to the Niers roughly the size of 13 football fields, creating new habitats for plants and animals as well as floodplains for high water. This transformation, located in the heart of the city, strengthens biodiversity and species conservation, supports the natural water cycle, and thus contributes to the climate resilience of the Niers and its surrounding area. => projekte.niersverband.de/bresgespark
