デメインウェフ国立公園のおすすめツーリングルート

Many juniper bushes grow on this heath, some of which are several meters tall. The area is known as the largest juniper heath in the Lower Rhine region. This makes it a rare and valuable nature reserve, as this type of heath is scarce nowadays. The juniper heath originated from human use of the landscape in the past. Grazing by sheep and land use created an open heath landscape in which juniper bushes could grow. Nowadays, this landscape is actively maintained, including through grazing by heath sheep, to prevent it from turning into forest. The area is also important for animals. Various bird species, such as the nightjar and the woodlark, live on the heath. In addition, many insects, reptiles, and amphibians are found here. Due to the combination of wet and dry areas, the biodiversity here is very high.

From here you can reach the Dalheimer Mill in just a few minutes.

There are nice paved sandy paths for cycling

There are many juniper bushes here. You don't find juniper berries in many places.

You don't have to take the downhill path if you prefer to walk on level ground. The ruins are small, and unfortunately, there's a lot of trash lying around, which simply has no place in nature.

The cemetery chapel of St. Ludwig of the former St. Ludwig College is in good condition.

Wonderful. Green as far as the eye can see.

The Effelder Waldsee is located in a protected nature reserve and covers approximately 38 hectares. The beach and other recreational opportunities are located on the opposite bank. Several rare and endangered species can be found on the Waldsee and in the surrounding area. These include the little ringed plover and several diver species, which even breed here. Whitethroats, cuckoos, and greylag geese are among the native bird species. The lake also serves as a stopover for migratory birds traveling between the south and north.
