course

The approximately 6-kilometer Nacker brook rises in a valley at the II. Heidberg the west of the city of Solingen, where the Wuppertal-Oberbarmen-Solingen railway from Grünewald progressing in a long left turn towards Ohligs runs. It has several smaller tributaries, such as the Pilghauser Bach . The Nacker Bach then runs in a south-westerly direction through the often forested Nacker Bachtal, which is named after it. On the valley slopes of the Bachtal as well as on the banks of the brook there are some residential areas, most of which are typical farms for the Bergisches Land ; downstream these are Kotten , Geilenberg , Nacken, Schaafenmühle , Montanushof , Nacker Küllenberg , Delle , Untenkatternberg , Nöhrenhaus , Brücke , Brachen , Kohlsberg , Schirpenbroich and finally Haasenmühle. There the stream flows into the Wupper.
