The Goorbach is a flowing water in North Rhine-Westphalia and the Netherlands . It is a tributary of the spelled .
The Goorbach does not have its own source. A source stream is the Herzbach, which starts in North Rhine-Westphalia between Nienborg and Metelen . A second source stream is the Hellingbach, which also rises in North Rhine-Westphalia south of Metelen. These converge near the A31 . For a few hundred meters, it is still known as the Hellingbach, and then bears the name Goorbach. Another tributary is the Hornerbach. This also rises south of Metelen and flows into the Goorbach in Gronau near the old federal road 54 . From here on, the Goorbach now runs through the 37 hectare nature reserve Goorbach and Hornerbecke and the Rüenberger Wald, before flowing into the Dinkel on the Dutch side at Losser . The total length of the Goorbach without its source streams is approx. 38 km. With its meanders and various bank structures, the stream offers a habitat for countless animals. Intensive efforts are currently underway on site to implement further improvements in terms of living space. Small residual populations of the European noble crayfish could also be detected here. This is on the red list of extinct species. Due to this fact, this stream system is to be considered extremely worthy of protection. Stocking and various measures to remove the competing species give the native crayfish an additional habitat. Further work will be carried out to ensure that even more native species survive both in and around the water in floodplains. From this a stream will emerge as it can develop itself in its original form.
