      Dülmen
      Deep in the Münsterland, surrounded by forests and heathland, lives the last herd of wild horses in Germany. To the west of Dülmen, around 400 wild horses roam through the Merfelder Bruch, a unique experience of nature. However, humans sometimes intervene in the natural course of events: the one-year-old stallions are regularly separated from the herd on the last Saturday in May - for the sake of peace and quiet.
