Very nice hike along the Eifgenbach. Perhaps one should undertake this hike on a weekday. The e-bikers were already annoying on the narrow hiking trails at the weekend.

Due to its unique flora and fauna, large areas of the Dhünn floodplain are protected nature reserves. Thanks to the good water quality and the high structural diversity of the riverbed, kingfishers, dippers, and grey wagtails can still be observed here.
