    The milkweed hawk, butterfly of the year 2014, was discovered by a nature photographer in the Geisterbusch, in the western part of the Wahner Heide. The second largest nature reserve in North Rhine-Westphalia (5,000 hectares) consists mainly of a kind of dune landscape with blooming heather, swamps and swamp forests, ponds and streams. There are not only rare butterflies, but also black storks and white crows, small pygmy shrews and big water buffalo. You can find out more at the information center in Troisdorf-Altenrath, where the heather walk starts on the first Sunday of the month.
