The Elsebachtal in Schwerte-Ergste is a picturesque and narrow nature reserve about 6.5 kilometers long. This area connects the Ruhr Valley with the Märkisches Sauerland and is known for its natural beauty. The Elsebach, which flows through the valley, arises from the confluence of the Reingser Bach and the Lollenbach. The stream is not straightened and meanders through the valley, which gives the area a particularly natural character.

The surrounding nature of the Elsebachtal is rich in alder trees that grow on the banks. These trees are known for their strong roots, which they need to hold onto the shore. The area also contains wet meadows that have been cultivated for centuries and there are various areas known for their biodiversity. The black stork, the kingfisher, the dipper and the gray wagtail, among others, live in the Elsebachtal.

For visitors, the Elsebachtal offers a circular route lasting around one and a half hours that leads along the Elsebach. Parking is available at the Elsebad in Schwerte-Ergste. The Elsebad is a community pool that is open from May to September and is also used for cultural events such as cinema evenings.

In summary, the Elsebachtal is an ideal place for nature lovers and offers a beautiful landscape with a rich flora and fauna.
