Dead Trees in the Wetland (Naturpark Schwalm-Nette)

Highlight • Natural

Because the trees are in the water, some of the trees that can't tolerate it also die. This also brings light back to the once-dark forest.

Deadwood Wetland in the Schaagbachtal

Highlight • Natural

The beavers have built a beautiful dam here. This has created a large pool of water, which is a beautiful spot for frogs and waterfowl.
The dam has since become completely overgrown and is therefore not really visible

very well developed.
Definitely worth seeing!

July 8, 2023,Traumweg Wildes Schaagbachtal

The dream tour Wildes Schaagbachtal could also be described as the "little sister" of the premium hiking trail Birgeler Urwald.
The nature is spectacular, especially at the beginning of the tour. The swamps, the clearings and even the dead trees look impressive.

March 16, 2025,Wildenrath (D) 10 Km (16-03-2025)

Up early this morning to walk the "Traumweg Wildes Schaagbachtal" walk (approx. 10 km) (starts from Wildenrath (D) near Wassenberg). Beautiful varied walk that is completely signposted but can also be walked via a gpx track.

The “dream path” from Wildenrath is always beautiful! It's wonderful to see how everything is green and partly blooming! And then I reward myself with apple strudel and vanilla ice cream at the Dahlheimer Mühle! In this sense. : Beautiful Easter! 😏😋🍰☕️

On the last day of my summer vacation, I went again to the Wild Schaagbachtal Dream Path after a long time. The bridge at the Biberdamm is finally finished. The mood was already slightly autumnal. Nevertheless, I got a lot in front of the camera.
