The gorge systems, called Tangen, are typical of this area, which is now a nature reserve. Tang is Low German and means "pincer" or "branch." The term describes the waterways that originated in the Maiburg and cut deep, branching valleys into the terminal moraine landscape. An information board on site provides detailed information about the formation of the Ankum Heights and the Maiburger Tangen.

As far as I could find, the municipalities of Kettenkamp, Eggermühlen, Berge, and Menslage meet here. The Hekeser Weg is unpaved here and has rough gravel in places.
