The Wannebach valley is part of the Ardey Mountains and opens to the southeast to the Ruhr valley . In the Wannebach valley, bounded to the north and south by wooded mountain ranges of the Ardey Mountains, the Wannebach flows. This small brook formed the south-eastern city limits of Dortmund until the regional reform in 1975. Outside the nature reserve, further east of it, the Sauerland line crosses the Wannebach valley on a motorway bridge . To the northeast of the Reichsmarkstraße crossing the Wannebach valley is the Dortmund golf course. The name Tal (the residential area is also called “In der Wanne”) and Bach by no means because of the valley shape of Wanne (vessel) , but from Gewann because of the win-win or three-field economy .
