    Nordic walking

    The approximately 90-hectare Westruper Heide near Haltern am See is a popular destination for hikers and – especially during the blooming season in August and September – for photographers. It is the largest contiguous heathland area in the vicinity of the Ruhr area and in Münsterland. Over 100,000 visitors come here annually to hike in peace or simply to switch off. Despite the surrounding roads (B 58 to the north and L 652 to the east), it is impressively quiet here.
