On August 13, 1968, Count Egon von Westerholt opened the Lion Park. Initially, 42 lions were kept in a specially prepared area in the Westerholt Forest in Buer, where visitors could observe them roaming freely from their cars. In 1974, a petting zoo was added, featuring lizards, pot-bellied pigs, and flamingos. There was also a petting zoo. By 1975, the park had attracted approximately 1.8 million visitors. In 1978, a fatal accident occurred when a 20-year-old man entered the enclosure at night and was killed by the lions. After the contract between Count Westerholt and the city of Gelsenkirchen expired in 1988, the park was closed. Today, the wooded area is once again open to the public. The former park buildings now house the China Restaurant - Löwenpark.

The Westrup Heath In the immediate vicinity of the Haltern Reservoir, the approximately 90-hectare Westrup Heath stretches across dune terrain. This impressive heathland was declared a nature reserve in 1937 and is now a popular tourist destination. Thousands of visitors each year stroll along the sandy paths through the heather, sandy grasslands, and bizarre juniper groves of one of the last great dwarf shrub heaths in Westphalia. Starting from the hiking car parks on Hullerner Straße and Flaesheimer Damm, there are several entry points into the Westrup Heath. For people with limited mobility or visual impairments, the Westrup Heath has also had an accessible route since 2010, starting from the Hotel Seehof, Hullerner Straße 102. Attractive information points also provide information about the heath's special features. See: https://westruper-heide.de/
