Birgeler Primeval Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Very beautiful stream landscape in the forest area near Wildenrath.
Definitely worth seeing!
The highlight is on the Traumweg Wildes Schaagbachtal hiking trail
and Birgeler Urwald.

Bridge Over the Duvenbach

Highlight • Bridge

Very nice little bridge over the Duvenbach.
The Duvenbach flows into the Schaagbach.
The Schaagbachtal area is swampy but with various hiking trails and footbridges
very well developed.
Definitely worth seeing!

Wetland at the Schaagbach

Highlight • Natural

A beautiful swamp landscape in the forest that is usually easy to hike. It was very muddy today. Sturdy shoes are essential.

The beavers have built a beautiful dam here, creating a large pond that's a beautiful spot for frogs and waterfowl.
The dam is now completely overgrown and therefore not really visible.

A nice wooden bridge, but slippery when wet.

A particularly beautiful section of the tour is right through a swamp landscape. The path leads over a wooden footbridge past marsh grass pastures. A wooden bench, a "forest sofa", invites you to relax.

View of the Schaagbach

Highlight • River

Several streams flow through very beautiful marshland.
It is characteristic of the area that the sources of five streams are located here, which have allowed the Schaagbachtal to develop into a species-rich wetland. The creek meanders through wet valleys whose edges can rise up to several meters high.
One of the springs is near Haus Wildenrath south of Wildenrath.
Really worth seeing!
