The Darscheid "Drees" is a "Säuerling" (acidulous water) in the middle of the forest, located near the "Lehbach" stream. The ferruginous "Säuerling" (acidulous water) passes through many layers of rock until it gushes out of the earth.
Black cormorants, great crested grebes, grey herons, ducks and, with a bit of luck, red and black kites as well as the black stork - the Urft Dam in the Eifel National Park is an El Dorado for birds. Here they can breed in peace and raise their young. The bird watching station at the Urft reservoir is an excellent place to observe the birdlife. Two high-quality telescopes are available for this purpose.
