ハンミンケルンの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

This shelter on Schnepfenweg in the Büngerner Dingdener Heide offers seating, a beautiful view, information panels about the "Landstreifer Zeitreise" hiking trail, and now, a brand-new insect hotel. The insect hotel is the first of four. It is specifically designed to meet the needs of approximately 40% of wild bee species. (Many commercially available insect hotels are unsuitable for wild bees.) The individual modules are replaceable should an element become infested with parasites or damp. Wild bees also require clean edges, tubes between 3 and 9 mm in diameter, and boreholes up to 14 cm deep (smaller holes almost exclusively produce males). This insect hotel was built by Michael Jansen from Bocholt, who is also involved in nature conservation.

The Lüttinger Fisherman's Hut Festival took place there on September 7th, 2024.

Here, the tension between nature conservation and the agricultural industry is clearly demonstrated.

Looking out over the water, with a bit of luck you can see sea eagles in the sky, but other bird species are always somewhere in the branches.

Nice rest area with information board.

Beautiful nature to enjoy.

It is worth making a detour here
