    Tips

    The Welter Bach nature reserve is a true natural paradise and the countless shades of green invite you to be amazed. Farm animals like the Galloways and wild animals like the kingfisher feel equally at home on the wet meadow.

    You can find more information about the flora and fauna of the Welter Bachauen at welter-bach.de/2.html.

      In the mid-1980s, thanks to the great commitment of the official and voluntary nature conservationists, the Welter Bach area was temporarily secured and the remaining wet meadows were saved from complete destruction. Thanks to the cooperative work between the voluntary nature conservationists (BUND), the Coesfeld Agricultural Office, the North Rhine-Westphalia Foundation for Nature Conservation, Homeland and Cultural Care and the local farmers, all areas are now in public hands and are managed in a way that is compatible with nature conservation. Today, some sections of the Welter Bach have been renaturalized, arable land has been converted into pastures and grassland areas have been extensified. Large areas have been grazed by Galloway cattle all year round since 1995.
