The Dachsgraben is a right tributary of the Selmkebach near Westende , City of Herdecke , Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis. It is about 800 m long. It rises west of the Kalmerskopf in the forest area in Schüppling and flows off to the south.
Dirk Glaser, landscape architect, described the brook in 2003: “It flows through a deeply incised valley and is rich in structure and close to nature. The valley slopes and adjacent areas are almost exclusively made of beech forest. Only between km 0.4 and 0.6 does a coniferous wood culture reach close to the stream. Another obstacle is the crossing of the Ender Talstraße, under which the Dachsgraben is cased. "
