ヒルデンの天然記念物・トップ20

Very nice to hike along here.

Very nice paths lead through the forest.

The Rotthäuser Bachtal has been a nature reserve since 1984 and is also designated as an FFH area. (FFH areas are areas that have been selected for the "Natura 2000" protected area system.) The special thing about the valley are its wetlands, the stream that gave it its name, its springs, the numerous fish ponds and extensive reed beds. In addition, there are valuable alder, ash and softwood floodplain forests as well as woodrush beech forests. This creates a diverse and varied landscape in a small area. The Rotthäuser Bachtal is home to rare animal species such as reed warblers, reed buntings and kingfishers as well as dragonflies such as the "blue-green darter". The flora is also rich in species, including plants that are threatened according to the "Red List", such as giant horsetail and watercress.

Such a wonderful area for hiking

The first part of the hike from Unterbacher See to the northern turning point is both scenic and challenging. Unfortunately, the way back from the north to the lake can't keep up: too many asphalt paths, too close to urban development. It may be wiser to hike back the way there...

Beautiful large ponds, then you enter a beautiful winding road. Walk over the bottom of the mountain, otherwise you will get wet feet. Because it was still very muddy.

The Neandertal with the Düssel is unexpectedly beautiful. You feel far away from any civilization - until you hear a siren and are reminded that you are only a few meters away from the nearest town.
