Water bodies

The water body structures within the nature park are divided into four large units:

1. the Nahe River, flowing from southwest to northeast.
2. three relatively large streams that flow through the Soonwald main crest from the northwest to the southeast and meet in the Nahe: Hahnenbach, Simmerbach/Kellenbach and Guldenbach.
3. medium-sized streams flowing from the Hunsrück high crest watershed, either north to the Rhein-Hunsrück district or south (Gräfenbach, Ellerbach, Hoxbach) or north-east (Seibersbach and Dörrebach), indirectly via the Guldenbach in the district of Bad Kreuznach, into the Nahe.
4. a large number of mostly untouched small to smallest streams that flow into the aforementioned water systems.

All these water categories are characterised by their closeness to nature and high biodiversity.
