Wehrbach - Sennebäche in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock

As the Wapelbach, it flows through the town of Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock and leaves the urban area in the direction of Verl. From the confluence with Rodenbach, the name changes again and the Wapelbach becomes the "Wapel". In its further course, the Wapel then passes Rietberg, Rheda-Wiedenbrück and the city of Gütersloh. There, the almost 36 km long river flows into the Dalke, which then flows into the Ems. Like the Rodenbach, the Wapel is particularly worthy of protection due to the presence of the nationally endangered fish and roundmouth species bullhead and brook lamprey and its equally endangered habitat type "alder, ash and softwood alluvial forests".
