Hubbelrather Bachtal, Protected area in Erkrath, Germany
The Hubbelrather Bachtal spans 70 hectares and contains wetlands, reed beds, small water bodies, and natural beech forests at elevations up to 140 meters above sea level.
The area received its protected status in 1989, with subsequent updates in 2011, establishing measures to preserve and restore the structured valley environment.
The historical Mauspfad trade route runs along the southwestern border of the Natura-2000 area, connecting to the former Mydlinghoven estate, now a restaurant and hotel.
The walking trail requires sturdy footwear due to muddy sections, and visitors can observe wildlife from benches placed along the path using binoculars.
The valley displays notable asymmetry with a gentle western slope used for agriculture and a steep, densely forested eastern section reaching the Sandberg, the highest point in Düsseldorf.
