Guided Story
Take a deep breath. Can you feel the crisp, fresh air drifting over from the Lippe River? Just behind you is Schloss Oberwerries, quietly standing as a witness to times long past. If you look to your left, you'll see the expansive, green meadows of the Oberwerrieser Mersch. This floodplain isn't just a refuge for rare plants and animals. It's said that traveling merchants once took shelter here, resting from their long journeys and sharing stories with local villagers. Listen to the gentle rustling of the trees and imagine how nature here has preserved its own tales over the centuries. If you look closely, you might catch a glimpse of this living history in the play of light and shadow on the water.
