The name Agger is of Celtic origin and means "flowing water". It flows into the Sieg, 70 kilometers from its source in Meinerzhagen, just behind the Aggerwehr. On its way from the Sauerland to the Rhineland, it overcomes an altitude difference of around 387 meters and has the largest population of wild salmon in Germany.
In some places on the Agger, bathing is permitted and can be used for canoeing and rowing. Boat moorings are marked.
The Agger and the floodplains surrounding it have been declared a nature reserve, so use is only permitted if certain rules are observed.
