A relaxing shady trail on a very hot day.

"At around 40 kilometers, the Dhünn is the longest tributary of the Wupper. However, the water from the Dhünn only accompanies the Wipper for a short distance, because it flows into the Wupper in Leverkusen. Shortly thereafter, the Wupper flows into the Rhine. The Dhünn is best known as the city river of Leverkusen and for its dam, the Great Dhünn Dam and its upstream dam. The two headwaters of the Dhünn converge in the Great Dhünn Dam before merging into the actual river. The source arms are referred to as Big Dhünn and Small Dhünn according to their different lengths. In the past, many areas of the Dhünn were used for fish farming and hydroelectric power generation. However, as part of comprehensive renaturation measures, a large part of the old weirs were dismantled. In addition, since 2010, the Dhünn has been the first river without weirs and other obstacles that is barrier-free for fish and other water dwellers." https://hochwasserportal.wupperverband.de/Gew%C3%A4sser/Dh%C3%BCnn/

At the moment everything in the Eifgenbachtal is a fresh green, almost all the bridges have been repaired after the flood last year and where there is no new bridge yet, there is a tree a few meters away that you can use to cross the stream. I did it yesterday😊 A really great hiking area and there isn't much going on there during the week.

A very beautiful forest with idyllic places to linger.

Here you can comfortably cool your feet and have a small picnic.

At the Eifgenbach there is still "pure nature".

Especially in summer it is very pleasant to walk here. It's nice and cool on this wooded stretch...

Here, nature is still what it should be. It is growing. The great waterways can also be found away from the main water. I can only recommend that everyone take a look around the area. Here, nature lets you switch off and unwind
