Zwill­brock­er Venn to Dül­men

34 miles

Just an hour onward by car, the route takes you to Dülmen and the wild horse sanctuary at Merfelder Bruch. Home to almost 400 wild horses this is the last remaining herd in Continental Europe. These hardy and good-natured animals are mostly left to fend for themselves, but the sanctuary provides hay at a small number of feeders in particularly cold and snowy weather. In spring, summer and autumn, visitors can observe the peacefully grazing horses and their lively foals via designated paths or on a guided tour.
