February 2, 2025,Steinhorster Becken

That wasn't our best idea today, sunshine and Sunday 🤔 .
When we arrived, there were already countless cars parked at the edge and people everywhere on the dyke 😅.
No matter, we were there now and mingled with the crowds, 2 more people don't stand out anymore 🤣 .

The Steinhorster Basin is an artificially created nature reserve in the Delbrücker Land near Steinhorst in the north of the Paderborn district. The approximately 83 hectare area consists mainly of water areas of the dammed Ems and offers a habitat for many water birds.
Thank you for the hiking template, @Dieter und Susanne.
Happy Easter! 🐰

Two large observation platforms were built. The …
