Tips

"The Grenzbach stream, originally called "Waldbach," forms the border between the districts of Altenkirchen and Neuwied.
Extensive renaturation measures were carried out here a few years ago. Large-scale spruce clearing (13 hectares) was carried out to promote light and natural vegetation. New, animal-friendly stream crossings were created, stream piping and small weirs were removed, and new bridges were built. Galloway and Heck cattle graze the areas year-round, keeping them free from reforestation. The section between Willroth and Linkenbach is grazed by Galloways. Another section, between Pleckhausermühle and the Wied near Döttesfeld, is grazed by a backbred aurochs, the so-called Heck cattle.
Valuable ecological structures and wetlands have since formed and provide a valuable refuge for fauna and flora..."
