"The near-natural Felderbach 💦 meanders, lined with typical alder accompanying vegetation, through wet commercial grasslands and very species-rich wet grassland fallow land. Value The near-natural course of the Felderbach and its high water structure quality contribute to the high value of the area. However, the focus of the area is on the wet commercial grasslands and those that are particularly species-rich Wet grassland fallow land, some of which are in an excellent state of preservation. Development goals/biotope network As a linear biotope, the area functions as an important part of the network of the state-wide biotope network". https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felderbachtal

The Herbringhauser dam (until 2006 "Upper Herbringhauser dam") is a drinking water dam in the Bergisches Land (North Rhine-Westphalia). It was built from 1898 to 1901 by the city of Barmen, which was still independent at the time and now belongs to Wuppertal. The Herbringhauser Bach is dammed. Until December 31, 2015, the Wuppertaler Stadtwerke (WSW) was the operator. On January 1, 2016, the dam became the property of the Wupperverband, which had acquired it together with the Kerspe dam from the WSW for EUR 46 million.

Felderbachtal in Elffringhauser Switzerland - simply a MUST!

Always good for a short walk, e.g. after eating in one of the Rondorf restaurants.

Beautiful forest path around the dam. Sturdy shoes not required. For a little snack... let's go to the Alm😉

The Heilenbecke dam was built between 1894 and 1896 in the Ennepe-Ruhr district and is the oldest dam in South Westphalia. The Heilenbecke dam was originally a water reservoir for the hammer mills and grinding huts that were located along the Heilenbecke. Nowadays, however, it primarily serves to supply drinking water; in addition to raising the Ruhr at low water.

From here you have really nice views!
