Join us on a hike along the renaturalized Forthbach stream and discover its valuable habitat for plants and animals. This free offer gives you the opportunity to explore the region in the company of DWV-certified hiking guides.
+++Start of registration: 17.03.2025+++
The Forthbach is the green ribbon that runs through the landscape of Langenberg and connects different habitats with each other. A lot has happened here in recent years: extensive renaturation measures have ensured that the stream can flow in its natural rhythm again. Side arms and still water zones now provide a protected habitat for numerous animal and plant species. Pollarded willows, dead wood and near-natural bank structures make the Forthbach a small but valuable natural paradise. Discover on this hike how nature is reclaiming the stream - and why such renaturations are so important for our environment.
