Deilbach

The Deilbach is a small river located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is a right tributary of the Ruhr River. The Deilbach's source is in the Langenberg district of Velbert, and it flows generally southward through Neviges (also part of Velbert) and across the city limits of Essen before emptying into the Ruhr in Kupferdreh, a district of Essen.

The Deilbach valley features a diverse landscape ranging from urban areas to forests and meadows. Historically, the river powered mills and supported industrial activities in the region. Today, it primarily serves recreational and ecological purposes. Water quality is an ongoing concern, with efforts focused on improving the ecological status of the Deilbach and its surrounding environment. The river and its valley are popular destinations for hiking and cycling.
