Due to its unique flora and fauna, large areas of the Dhünn floodplain are protected nature reserves. Thanks to the good water quality and the high structural diversity of the riverbed, kingfishers, dippers, and grey wagtails can still be observed here.

The Eifgenbach flows into the Dhünn near Altenberg, which in turn flows into the Wupper. And the good old Wupper flows into the Rhine near Leverkusen – onward to the North Sea in the Netherlands 🌊🌈...

The so-called "twitcher box" at the rest area by the dam of the large Dhünntalsperre above Loosenau is powered by a hand crank. Afterwards, you can choose from various topics what you would like to "twitcher" (tell). Great stuff 👍
