Nothing is as it seems – and this certainly applies to the Black Water in Wesel. It is one of the oldest nature reserves in North Rhine-Westphalia. Its characteristic black color, caused by the humic substances in the moor vegetation, makes the lake appear quite gloomy even on sunny days. But this impression is deceptive: The nutrient-poor body of water is home to many endangered animal and plant species.

If you're lucky, you can see a variety of wild animals here. A little time, patience and binoculars are helpful.
