The Kupfersiefer Valley near Rösrath is a protected landscape area that perfectly showcases the diversity of the Bergisches Land region's valleys. Here, the stream meanders naturally for extended stretches, accompanied by damp meadows, old groves, and wooded slopes. The valley provides a habitat for numerous animal and plant species. As you walk through this approximately 65-hectare nature reserve, you can enjoy peace and quiet far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

This is the Georgshof, which gave this part of Rösrath its name.

There they are, perched on poles and canopies, the creatures. They seem accustomed to the public and don't get disturbed.

There are some beautiful half-timbered houses here; a lovely, winding place. The half-timbered houses are in the typical Bergisch colors with green shutters.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by the power of the natural elements through a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.
