Riverside nature reserve along the Ruhr offering forest trails, reed-lined banks, small rapids and reflective pools — ideal for intimate landscapes, long-exposure waterscapes and seasonal color (spring greens, autumn foliage). Easy trails and informal parking; no fees. Best light at sunrise/sunset and overcast days for even tones. Weekdays bring fewer visitors; expect muddy paths after rain and insects in summer.
