The grazing project of the district and NABU has existed since 2019. Water buffalos are used to maintain the area on Elmer Berg and in the Ostewiesen. The quiet animals, equipped with imposing horns, can be found there all year round.

With a bit of luck and a quiet approach, you can observe the water buffalo up close. Please DO NOT feed them!
