    The approximately 90-hectare Westruper Heide near Haltern am See is a popular destination for hikers and - especially during the flowering period in August and September - also for photographers. It is the largest contiguous heath area in the Ruhr area and in the Münsterland. Over 100,000 visitors come here every year to hike in peace or just to switch off. Despite the surrounding roads (B 58 in the north and L 652 in the east), it is impressively quiet here.
