Hiking

The Ems rises from the seepage spring in the Moosheide nature reserve. First a small stream, which later grows into a river. Since I am usually in the Ems-Auen in Münster, Telgte or Einem, it was quite interesting to see the origin of the Ems. And it starts off quite small and inconspicuous. ;-) The hiking area in the Moosheide is scenically very beautiful, with many narrow to wider and sandy hiking trails, through forests and open heath areas.

Hiking

A great biotope with a beautiful, quiet hiking trail. The boards are explained in a way that is easy to understand and give young and old good information.
