Gelpe-Saalbach, Protected nature reserve in Remscheid, Germany.
The Gelpe-Saalbach reserve spans 24.24 hectares of land, featuring two rivers that create habitats for numerous aquatic and terrestrial species.
First established in 1989 and expanded in 2003, this nature reserve represents Germany's commitment to environmental protection in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The reserve operates educational programs for schools and community groups, teaching about local ecosystems and environmental preservation methods.
