The Kupfersiefer Valley near Rösrath is a protected landscape area that perfectly showcases the diversity of the Bergisches Land region's valleys. Here, the stream meanders naturally for extended stretches, accompanied by damp meadows, old groves, and wooded slopes. The valley provides a habitat for numerous animal and plant species. As you walk through this approximately 65-hectare nature reserve, you can enjoy peace and quiet far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

A nice place for the children to play.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by the power of the natural elements through a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

From the former mill - the mill wheel can still be seen on the outer wall of the building - a section of the path begins that can be described without exaggeration as "wildly romantic". Perhaps an old-fashioned word that some may consider kitschy, but in my view it is absolutely accurate.

The section that leads through the "Kupfersieferbachtal" on the right bank of the Rhine undoubtedly deserves the title "wildly romantic" - which may seem a bit kitschy to some. At the moment, the path can only be managed with a small but manageable climb, as a tree has fallen across the path.

Nice kindergarten in the forest, we went on the first day of the holidays so there were no children around.

<< Kupfersiefer Mill >> "The Kupfersiefer Mill was built in 1783 as a grain mill. Because the water level of the Kupfersiefer stream was often low and the mill wheel was not driven by enough power, a liquor distillery was set up after 1820 as an additional sideline. The current buildings date from around 1850. Both branches of business, the distillery and the mill operation, were finally closed around 1920. In the 1990s, the listed buildings were renovated. In the basement of the mill, in addition to the distillery, the old grinding mechanism with millstones, load lifters and drive wheels are still preserved in a vaulted room. The water wheel was renewed through an initiative by the Rösrath History Association and can now be set in motion with a pump. The Kupfersiefer Mill is now a restaurant and accommodation business."

Trout ponds are ponds that are created specifically for the breeding and catching of trout. Trout are bred here and then sold to anglers who are allowed to fish in the pond for a fee. Trout ponds vary in size and can be created in different designs. Nevertheless, they should be deep enough so that the trout have enough space and can move around on their own. They also need to be regularly supplied with fresh water to ensure good water quality and enough food for the trout.
