Renatured section of the Cloer

A tributary to the Niers that has been renatured with great effort, at least in sections.

The Cloer flows into the Niers in the Nierssee area (beautification pond of the sewage treatment plant). It will be renatured in several construction phases on the Bettrather Dyck.
