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 🌊🌈...

This is a truly beautiful spot, perfect for a family picnic. The kids can play in or near the stream, and you can sit on the grass with a blanket. In spring, the meadow blooms, and it's simply a wonderful place that tempts you to stay.
