Neuvrees bison monument

The life-size bison statue is located in a beautifully landscaped and maintained rest area with benches and an information board on the edge of the Eleonora Forest.

The place is intended to particularly invite cyclists to take a break.

At the end of 2005, three cows and one bull were released into the Eleonorenwald wildlife enclosure. The project failed due to a dispute about the danger of the bison between the municipality of Vrees and the Emsland district on the one hand and the landowner Arenberg-Meppen GmbH, as the municipality wanted to make the site freely accessible to the public. The forest owner and the Ministry of the Environment as a cooperation partner, however, considered the bison to be too dangerous to make the enclosure accessible to pedestrians and mutually terminated the mutual usage agreement. The herd, which had now grown to eight bison, had to be relocated to the Döberitzer Heide in Brandenburg; the bull bison had to be sent to Belgium because of its dangerous nature. In the Friesoyth district of Neuvrees on Feldstrasse, a bison monument (represented by a plastic bison) erected in 2008 commemorates the project that was later completed (excerpt from Wikipedia).
