Borbachtal

Highlight • Forest

After the silting up of the former "Three Ponds" in the Borbach Valley and the subsequent renaturation of the Borbach, this section of the path is particularly idyllic.

Borbach Stream in Ardey Mountains Nature Park

Highlight • River

Regardless of the weather, it's always somehow special here. Nice and shady on hot summer days, when it rains you hardly get any water through the dense canopy of leaves

Renaturation of the Borbach at Drei Teiche

Highlight • River

After the old 3 ponds were rebuilt, a nice stream landscape has now emerged.

Highlight • River

The Borbachtal is attractive in every season. Unfortunately, it dries out more and more often in summer.

Borbach Stream

Highlight • River

The Borbach leads you directly to the Hammerteich

Tip by

13.4 km

The Hammerteich, remnants of an early industrial forge and today the home port of many ship model builders. 🤓 The pond was dammed in 1722 to serve as an energy source for the manufacturer Peter Lange's first Witten hammer mill.
