190 hectares (460 acres) of the river basin of the Eifgenbach and its tributaries have been declared nature reserve in order to protect its bio-diversity.

About 1 km (0.62 mi) below the mouth into the Dhünn lies the Altenberger Dom, a monastery church built from 1255 on by Adolf IV, Count of Berg in Gothic style. Today the church belongs to the German state of North Rhine-Westfalia and is used both by the Protestants and Catholics as shared church.
