Oberwerrieser Mersch

Can you hear the cheerful chirping above? That's one of the rare bird concerts that makes this area so special. Oberwerrieser Mersch isn't just a nature reserve; it's a living concert hall for our feathered friends. Look to your left, and you can spot Schloss Oberwerries in the distance, a silent witness to this landscape's history. This area, shaped by the floodplains of the Lippe, has been a sanctuary for nature for centuries. There's even a legend that a monastery once stood here, its ruins now reclaimed by nature. If you look closely, you might glimpse the old walls hidden in the meadows. Let the peaceful atmosphere enchant you and enjoy the unspoiled beauty this unique place has to offer.
