The Deipensiefen is a left tributary of the Wupper , which is called Wipper here in the upper reaches, near Marienheide - Börlinghausen .

geography

course

The stream rises 422 m above sea level in the eastern part of the Gervershagen forest in several sources, some of which are referred to as Milbiquelle , and flows in a north-northwest direction through the 7-hectare nature reserve Quellbach and deciduous forest area Deipensiefen (identifier: GM-080, CDDA code : 344745). The protection was placed, among other things, to secure and develop the near-natural source brook area of ​​a typical low mountain range with brook-accompanying and adjacent hardwood stands. The spring area consists of basic springs, pond springs, seepage springs and swamp springs.

The brook takes on three unnamed smaller tributaries on the left and passes under the Hagen – Dieringhausen railway line and the Zur Wupperquelle road near two trees that are protected as a natural monument. A few meters further on, it flows into the Wipper at 386 m.
