Doberg Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

"The Doberg in Bünde is not only a specialty for the Herford district, but also of worldwide scientific importance because of its complete sequence of Oligocene layers (Upper, Middle and Lower Oligocene). These now solid sand, limestone and claystones were in almost horizontal layers in the sea or deposited on the mainland. By systematically recording and determining the fossils embedded in the layers, the history of the once living world can be read. " Doberg is phenomenal in all seasons! Small but nice - and have some leisure time to look at!

Limestone Quarry in Natur- und Geopark TERRA.vita

Highlight • Structure

If you reach this area from the northeast, it presents itself as a huge, almost unfathomable hole in the surface of the earth. A few treetops shimmer deep below. The path narrows to a ridge, on which it goes to the left and left in what are almost bottomless depths. In addition, the remains of the 'Monster von Minden' were found right down there: "In 1998, LWL experts found the remains of a dinosaur in a quarry in the Wiehengebirge near Minden has been." Luckily it didn't catch us!

November 26, 2023, Doberg Fossil Cliffs

Anyone who goes for a walk in the Doberg rarely gets their feet wet these days. Things were completely different 30 million years ago! At that time the North Sea still stretched here with a water depth of around 20 meters. Toothed whales and manatees lived in this shallow prehistoric sea. The most famous discovery was made by a worker in the marl pit: in 1912, he discovered the almost completely preserved skeleton of a manatee. The Doberg manatee is actually the earliest known ancestor of today's manatee manatees. Even apart from this important discovery, the Doberg is a fascinating natural spectacle. However, some unofficial paths are now blocked with chains or fences due to nature conservation. The main path and the paths around the forest offer enough insights.
