Originally created for wastewater disposal - now an EU bird sanctuary...

You shouldn't venture here without a camera or at least binoculars, although of course "just" a walk in nature is always the right choice 😀.

From several observation huts and an observation tower, you have a good overview and a lot to see... (Warning: flood of pictures ahead),,,

Once again I was in the Rieselfeldern Münster. That is animal protection the waters are surrounded by thick reeds, so that the animals have their rest in front of us. But there are very nice lookout huts where you have a good view. In some places people have unfortunately made aisles in order to be able to see better and …

Originally, the drainage fields were used to dispose of Münster's waste water: from the beginning to the middle of the 20th century, this was fed to the fields and treated there with the help of irrigation technology. Over the decades, the city's enormous increase in population meant that the sewage fields were no longer able to fulfill their original purpose …

August 9, 2025,Nebelmorgen in den Rieselfeldern 🌫️🌱🌾🦢🦦🪿🦆🐶🐾🙋🏻‍♀️🥾

Today, we took a short walk through the sewage fields very early in the morning. The meadows and ponds were shrouded in early morning mist, which gave the whole thing a magical atmosphere. The songbirds are keeping a low profile now. They no longer need to impress a partner with their songs. The mating season is long over, and the …

This morning we were in the Rieselfelder again. The countless swifts that hunted for insects above the reed belts offered an impressive flight show. Waterfowl sang through the morning still and the cuckoo called somewhere in the trees. Simply a wonderful idyll.

I just walked a few meters: "I haven't seen you here for a long time, what's going on?" Yes, I haven't been to the sewage fields for a long time. It got a bit too full for me at times. I was quickly informed that everything was the same and that there was nothing new in the sewage fields. But …

The sewage fields are always worth a visit. Also, or especially, in bad weather. Many paths are easy to walk on even when it rains and when the weather is not so good it is not so crowded here.
