Datteln-Olfen, Ruhr area, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, Lippe, river and floodplain development of the Lippe near Haus Vogelsang, here a near-natural river landscape is created, an intact river floodplain ecosystem is restored, the course of the river is lengthened, for example by a new loop of the Lippe thus the flow rate slows down, in near-natural hydraulic engineering, dead wood is also brought in to secure the bank and improve the watercourse structure.
