Emmeroberlauf und Beberbach

Emmeroberlauf and Beberbach is a nature reserve in the Höxter region of North Rhine-Westphalia, covering river valleys, meadows, and woodland areas. The site follows the natural courses of two waterways and contains varied habitats supporting different plant and animal communities.

The area was designated as a protected nature reserve in 2001 by German authorities with the code HX-058 to safeguard river ecosystems. This protection status allowed the preservation of natural habitats along both waterways.

The name refers to the two rivers, Emmer and Beber, that flow through meadows and forests in this area. The reserve serves as a natural gathering place for local residents and visitors interested in observing wildlife and enjoying the landscape.

The reserve can be explored on established walking trails that follow the natural course of both rivers. The paths are accessible and offer opportunities to observe local wildlife, particularly during early morning and evening hours.

The reserve contains specialized limestone spring formations and underwater vegetation that create rare habitats for protected animal species. These geological features make the protected area particularly important for specific ecological conditions.
