Rad van fortuin tochten: Läppkesmühlenbach station, lagere baan

A good one kilometer from here, the Läppkesmühlenbach crosses under the Rhine-Herne Canal in a culvert and is then pumped into the Emscher, 24/7, every day of the year.

At this point, however, he has recently been given real space. It should find its own course, meander, sometimes slower, sometimes faster. A more diverse shape of the river also creates more diversity in plants and animals - and the stream can hold back the water longer in heavy rain, which relieves the Emscher.
