- Steeger Bergbau nature reserve
- Dürschbachtal nature reserve
ecology
In the upper Dürschbach, concentrations of metals such as zinc, titanium, cadmium and cobalt that are dangerous for organisms are measured, apparently due to the earlier mining in the region. The fish population is unsatisfactory.
Dehydration
During the summer months of 2019, the water in the Dürscheid-Steeg area turned into a trickle and dried up completely in September. According to the memory of older residents, this total drying up of the creek took place for the first time in this 2019 summer season. During the autumn months, the usual water level was reached again.
