Tips

Jens Grauel

In Devon, a tropical coral reef was formed in a shallow sea at what is now the eastern edge of Hemers. Later, a mass of limestone developed from it, which today stretches from Wuppertal via Hagen and Hemer to Balve. Iron ore has been mined in today's nature reserve since the ninth century. Today the sea of rocks is largely covered by woodruff beech forest, which is home to the wood warbler, gray and green woodpecker, blindworms, the noctule bat, the water bat and many other animal species. Due to the calcareous soil, plant species such as sanicle, bird's nest arum and arum thrive here, which do not or hardly occur on the otherwise mostly acidic soils of South Westphalia.

A visit to the Felsenmeer Hemer is worthwhile at any time of the year. The cliffs and caves are part of a karst landscape. A variety of display boards provide visitors with background information about the rocky sea, which is of course a protected area.
