The "Wasserdell", located east of Dahlem, consists of a valuable natural landscape with well-developed
heath moor areas, peat moss stands and alder buckthorn bushes, as well as the nutrient-poor moor brook with a small alder carr forest. A body of water created by damming the moor brook, which also serves as a forest fire pond, has naturally developed south of the "Wasserdell". Above this lies a larger heath moor area. The entire complex lies within an extensive spruce forest (Natura 2000 area). Here, part of an old windthrow area has been cleared. In addition, thinning measures within the framework of the project "Heath, Moors, Meadows" have been carried out on an area of 2.4 ha. This area, together with the raised bog on the Heidenkopf, forms the only habitats of this kind (about 3 km northeast of the "Wasserdell") in the Euskirchen district.
