The Diepentalsperre will no longer exist in its original form. It should become a natural hiking destination. The city council of Leichlingen has approved a renaturation. As a result, the dam is no longer a destination for boat trips. The area will remain as a local recreation area, but the Murbach is to flow again there and a varied, natural flora is to spread in addition to some still waters. The flora is already reclaiming the former body of water. The Wupperverband wants to ensure flood protection through retention areas.

The reason for this undertaking is to protect the residents from flooding, since the dam, which has been in operation since 1903, no longer meets the current requirements for stability in the event of flooding.

The dam is currently almost empty. Not a pretty sight!
