"The Kruckeler Bach is a small stream in southern Dortmund (Hombruch district) that drains the Ardey Hills to the northwest and flows into the Grotenbach west of Großholthausen. Historically, it was significant as a source of water for early drift mines. The area around the stream is characterized by near-natural, narrow valleys, known locally as 'Siepen'." (KI)
