The Rieselfelder Münster are a European bird sanctuary in the area of former drainage areas for the sewage of the city of Münster. The main routes are excellently paved, the secondary routes with water-bound surfaces are great for hiking and cycling. There are numerous observation posts and a lookout tower to observe the bird life. Binoculars or telephoto are an advantage.

The Rieselfelder Münster, a unique nature reserve near the city center of Münster, offers an important refuge for bird species threatened throughout Europe on around 430 hectares. These man-made wetlands, which are located just six kilometers north of the city center, are an integral part of the European NATURA 2000 protected area network and a wetland of international importance.

The Rieselfelder were created from the former irrigation areas for the city's wastewater and today play an important role as a resting and moulting place for migratory birds. With over 90 ponds and a large lake district, the Rieselfelder are not only an important habitat for birds, but also for other animal species such as amphibians and insects.

The Rieselfelder offer visitors numerous adventure opportunities. There are several designated observation points and an accessible reed nature trail that provides information about the ecological importance of the reed and offers insights into the nature conservation measures in the area. Of particular note is the importance of the Rieselfelder for education and research, with regular guided tours and events that raise awareness of nature conservation.

Cyclists and hikers can use the reserve's developed paths to enjoy nature while respecting the strict protection regulations that prohibit entering the view corridors and leaving the paths in order not to disturb the sensitive habitats. The Rieselfelder Münster are therefore not only a refuge for wildlife, but also a valuable recreational area for people who want to experience the peace and beauty of nature not far from a big city.
