Guided Story
Can you hear the leaves rustling? That's the sound of Mengeder Heide, a green oasis that has stood here since 1986. Take a look around and see how nature has thrived over the years. Did you know that in spring, a vibrant carpet of wildflowers spreads across the land, filling the air with their sweet scent? Behind you, you might spot a shy fox or a curious deer peeking out. The Emscher River, flowing to the south, has undergone its own transformation from an industrial waterway to a more natural stream.
