"... The Laarer Bach rises in the Dielsbruch nature reserve, east of the Mühlrather Mühle directly behind the municipal boundary in the Schwalmtaler area. The nature reserve is part of the FFH area (Fauna-Flora-Habitat)" Tantelbruch with Elmpter Bachtal and parts of the Schwalmaue ". The protection ground is the preservation and optimization of a strongly swelling low moor with a high groundwater level in front of the slope edge to the arable level. At the northern end of the Dielsbruch, the Laarer Bach crosses under the L372. A few meters further north, the stream crosses under the Schwalm with the help of a culvert. The Laarer Bach runs from the Schwalm in the deepest area of the here wide and flat Schwalmaue through the southernmost part of the Tantelbruch nature reserve over a length of almost 600 meters. In a relatively short period of time, these areas have developed into FFH habitat types of high quality from a landscape-ecological point of view, such as oats - Wiesenknopf - Silgenwiesen with reed beds. ...
