Former Erftflutkanal during backfilling

Highlight • Structure

A shame that the Erft was separated from the cycle path, but it was urgently necessary after the flood of the century. I've added a few old pictures so everyone can imagine what it used to look like here.

August 24, 2022,Veedelstour 24.08.2022 entlang der fast leeren Erft

Veedelstour along the almost empty Erft. The low water level can be seen everywhere. You see the bottom everywhere. Everywhere stones are visible from the ground, which I have never seen before. Sometimes the Erft looks like a trickle. People hang out in the flow where otherwise they never go.
