The nature reserve at Bruchbach and Otterbach stretches along the valley areas of these streams and encompasses a highly branched water system with straightened streams, ditches, and standing water. It is home to a variety of habitats, including reeds, wet and marshy meadows, tall forb communities, large sedge marshes, and near-natural forest areas. Particularly noteworthy is the unspoiled landscape on the edge of the Bienwald forest, with the Otterbach stream between Jockgrim and Kandel being a near-natural watercourse of supraregional importance.
