The Hexbach is a running water on the border between Mülheim an der Ruhr- Dümpten and Essen- Bedingrade . He is eponymous for the nature reserve Hexbachtal .
The Hexbach rises between the streets Rötterhoverbaum and Heckelsberg, one of the tributaries on Bonnemannstraße and the other on Gänseweg. From its headwaters to the south, the Hexbach cuts quickly into the landscape at the level of the Emscher lowlands, where it slows down its flow rate. In this way it was able to meander and form small branches. Typical floodplain forest with black alders , common ash trees and individual silver and broken willows formed here , which survive regular floods. After a distance of 3.381 kilometers, it flows into Läppkes Mühlenbach with at least 23 liters of water per second, just a few meters from the source. The Läppkes Mühlenbach drains over the Emscher and the Rhine into the North Sea .
