Hollager Mühlenbach, Brook in Wallenhorst, Germany
Hollager Mühlenbach is a small stream that flows through the town of Wallenhorst in Germany. It runs through meadows, fields, and quiet residential areas before joining the Haseau wetlands.
The stream was formerly known as the Strothbach, a name from Low German referring to the marshy meadows that once lined its banks. In the 19th century, a watermill was built along its course, which gave the stream its current name.
The name of the stream refers to the old mill that once stood on its banks and used the water to grind grain. Today, narrow paths run along the stream, and local residents use them for walks with their dogs or a short stroll after work.
The stream is best explored on foot along the simple paths that run beside it. Those who want to get closer to the water and the old mill setting will find the Hollager Mühle site a good starting point.
Along part of its route through the industrial area, the stream now runs completely underground and cannot be seen from the surface. Only at the Hollager Mühle site does it return to the surface, flowing through a small system of ponds and channels.
