Unique and truly exotic! Directly on the Dutch border in the western Münsterland lies the Zwillbrocker Venn nature reserve.
The stars of the area are clearly the flamingos, which are home to the northernmost colony in the world.
However, those who look more closely will discover much more in this unique

Until the car comes back from inspection, we had to kill time...
Since we had already done a round in Darmstadt not too long ago and had rather the tourist attractions on the agenda (Mathildenhöhe, Hochzeitsturm etc.), we wanted a bit of contrast program today - so out into the green, into nature....

A tour that we didn't expect much from and were then sooo beautifully surprised by...😍
Given today's temperatures, we wanted a more "undemanding", not too long round in nature, ideally near water and in the shade...
Nature: yep ✔️, water: yeah✔️, shade: maybe ✔️ ❌...
Thought, maybe a few beautiful butterflies

Phew - after this morning's brief rain, nature resembled a sauna landscape 🥵..
Proximity to the Rhine didn't bring any cooling, but at least two-thirds of the tour was in the shade...
The Rhine island was created by the Tulla Rhine regulation around 1826/30 and has been a protected wet, dry, forest, and

The wetland is currently not so wet and in places therefore resembles a slightly larger puddle rather than a real body of water.
Accordingly, "the population" also shifts, and where there was otherwise always a lot to see (on our last tour a few weeks ago, for example, the cute black-headed gull chicks
