What effects do the dams have on the flora and fauna, and what animals have found their habitat in the dams? In the audio reports, you can find out more about the small animals, or animals living hidden away, which you might not notice at first glance. On this tour, the water accompanies you through the Bergisches Land region. Take a look at the source of the river Wupper or accompany an inspector visiting the dam at Bever. On this bike tour, there’s plenty waiting to be discovered!
