The Wohnrother Bach is one of the small rivers in Rhineland-Palatinate that flow from the Hunsrück towards the Moselle .
geography
The Wohnrother Bach rises on the Hunsrückhöhenstrasse near Bell . It then flows about six kilometers through a lonely valley with no road connection, a hiking trail runs parallel to the water. There are several mills in the valley. At the ruins of Burg Balduinseck , it forms the Mörsdorfer Bach together with the Schumbach .
Flora and fauna
The valley is very densely forested with oaks and hornbeams and the slopes border directly on the stream. The Wohnrother Bach partly flows through extensively used valley meadows, with willows and alders on the banks that are hardly used economically today.
Gray herons and mallards are the most common water birds in the Bachtal, and the dipper and kingfisher also have their habitat on the fast-flowing water.
