    In the nature reserve Düsterdieker lowland rare bird species find a retreat area.
    Translated by•
    The Düsterdieker Niederung Nature Reserve is one of the largest nature reserves in the Steinfurt district of North Rhine-Westphalia.

    The approximately 1,130.9-hectare area, which was declared a nature reserve in 1983, extends over the municipalities of Mettingen and Westerkappeln, north of the town of Westerkappeln.

    The reserve is part of the "Düsterdieker Niederung" EU bird sanctuary.

    The Düsterdiek Lowlands are a landscape consisting of meadows, fields, and wooded areas. You'll hardly find a house or farm building here. You're alone with yourself and nature. Unfortunately, you'll also hardly find a bench or anything similar for a quiet break.
