Even if the narrow paths and meadow paths are a bit wet at the moment, it is always so beautiful at the Ems meadows 🍁🦆🤩👍

A wonderfully large lake with a beautifully landscaped park, plenty of resting places, and all kinds of waterfowl. I even saw nutrias. A top destination in Warendorf!

The small wooden bridge is very narrow and lined with plants. You can hardly see water. But still a nice place.
