The Naafbach valley is a popular recreational area, as the Naafbach was actually supposed to be dammed to form a reservoir. There have been plans for this since the 1930s, which is why no large businesses have settled there since then and hardly any new development areas have been designated. In 1980 it all came to an end - the Naafbach valley was declared a nature reserve.

Not recommended with a dog, as there are unfortunately a lot of ticks. Mine had 13 and one of them gave him Lyme disease.
