The best hikes from bus stations around Sandruper Lake

This is what "MünsterWiki" writes: "St. Josef is a Catholic parish church in Kinderhaus. Construction history: It was built in 1449 as a single-nave church for the leprosarium of the city of Münster, established in 1326 and 1342, and is located in the Liebfrauen-Überwasser deanery. In 1672 it received a tower and was extended by the chancel. It had two altars, one dedicated to St. Elisabeth and the second to St. Gertrud. In 1953, the church was extended by the left side aisle, the two transepts, and the chancel area. The dimensions and spatial design of the old church were preserved or adopted. In 1971, the chancel area was redesigned. In 1993, the sacristy was housed in an extension. History: The parish consisted of the surrounding farming communities with Coerde and Sprakel. On March 7, 1342, a chaplain was appointed by Bishop Ludwig II of Hesse. In 1672, Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen designated "St. JosefWP" as the patron of the church. On November 30, 1908, it became the parish church of the Catholic parish communities of St. Marien and St. Josef. Furnishings: The tower and the keystone of the chancel are adorned with the coat of arms of Christoph Bernhard von Galen. Hanns Wienhausen designed the windows and tabernacle. Since August 2008, the church has had "Stations of the Cross windows" designed by the artist Silke Rehberg. Will Horsten designed the altar and the cross above it. The organ was built by the Klais company."

🕊️🦢 The Rieselfelder Münster nature reserve is one of the most important bird sanctuaries in North Rhine-Westphalia and a popular destination for nature observers. Over 130 different bird species have already been recorded. Among the observed species are herons and common pochards, marsh harriers, short-eared owls, various wading birds (such as lapwings and greenshanks), bluethroats, and the rare little bittern. Numerous insects (dragonflies, butterflies) and amphibians also find a suitable habitat here. Heck cattle graze on the pastureland to maintain the open landscape.

🌿 Nature and Biodiversity The sewage fields are an outstanding biotope and serve as an important resting and moulting area for migratory birds. The area offers a diverse range of habitats, including shallow water zones, wet grasslands, pastures, and one of the largest contiguous reed beds in North Rhine-Westphalia.

We love this nature reserve 🤩! A visit by 🚲 or 🥾 is worthwhile any time of day or year!

This forest path from the forest school to the Kinderhaus estate is, firstly, a beautiful stretch through nature. 🌳 Secondly, because of the relatively soft, unpaved surface, I think it's particularly recommended for joggers who are prone to knee problems on asphalt. A short initial section from the forest school is a gravel path, but after turning right (northeast), it becomes a forest path with a higher proportion of soil. If desired, you can also leave the path and run longer on "real" forest soil. Running on the softer ground, however, is probably less suitable for setting speed records. The route is also lovely for hiking and cycling! 🙂

Unfortunately, I didn't see any alpacas on my walk past here today.

It's a great place to cycle along and stop to watch the various birds.
