Landwehr Gelmerheide

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

Very interesting wall piece with a secret from the 14th century.

The forest is part of the land defense system that protected the city of Münster.

Even today you can see the dimensions of the system very well and experience how much effort it took to build this system with simple wooden shovels.

The Rieselfelder are just great and there are tons of ways and opportunities to put together again and again new tours. The reed trail is interesting and instructive and one of these opportunities.

Shortly after the hikers' car park there are still some places to sit, but after that they become quite rare. So rest your bottom again. 😊

... to accommodate the equipment of so-called sewage wardens, who were entrusted with practical work, small sewage warden houses were built all over the area. They were equipped with a writing place and a small stove for cold winter days.
