Hiking

This NSG extends to three completely different stream systems. The largest is the Michelsbach, which flows as a natural meandering stream in the middle of a clearly developed floodplain. The valley floor is occupied by riparian and gallery forests that accompany the stream, and in places the water is flanked by species-rich wet and fresh meadows and pastures. Also included in the protected area were small side Siefen, on the steeper valley sides of which species-rich lean meadows are cultivated.
