In Stukenbrock, the stream is dammed for the first time to feed ponds and tributaries for fish farming, some of which are now protected. To the west of Schloß Holte there are further standing waters within the Holter Forest, which are fed by the Ölbach. In 1843, the industrialist Friedrich Ludwig Tenge created these ponds as collecting basins for smelting the turf iron ore from the Holter smelter. Today they are wetland biotopes and can be explored on a nature trail. At Holter Schloss, the town's namesake hunting lodge, the Ölbach is dammed again to form the Schlossgräfte. On its way through the Holter forest, it then passes the 1000-year-old oak tree, an impressive natural monument. Heading towards Verl, the Ölbach picks up the Landerbach. It finally flows into the Wapel in Rhedaer Forst, a wooded area between the towns of Gütersloh and Rheda-Wiedenbrück, which in turn flows into the Dalke." language: "en" type: "Place" image: "https://dam.destination.one/1108304/a95a5fb39120a4e900a4ba985035fd807f41be4dfc444806ae4ebea630238051/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Teutoburg Forest > Discover the region > Excursion > POI" --- Share Ölbach Bahnhofstraße - Sennebäche in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock ============================================================= - Waters Ölbach in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock Ölbach in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock Ölbach in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock Ölbach in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock The Ölbach stream, which flows through the city from east to west, crosses residential areas here and is squeezed into a rigid bed.
