Tips from the Community
This shelter on Schnepfenweg in the Büngerner Dingdener Heide offers seating, a beautiful view, information panels about the "Landstreifer Zeitreise" hiking trail, and now, a brand-new insect hotel. The insect hotel is the first of four. It is specifically designed to meet the needs of approximately 40% of wild bee species. (Many commercially available insect hotels are unsuitable for wild bees.) The individual modules are replaceable should an element become infested with parasites or damp. Wild bees also require clean edges, tubes between 3 and 9 mm in diameter, and boreholes up to 14 cm deep (smaller holes almost exclusively produce males). This insect hotel was built by Michael Jansen from Bocholt, who is also involved in nature conservation.

Water buffalo are very peaceful and undemanding animals. Here they are used as "landscape caretakers" and ensure that, for example, the ponds and areas in the heath are kept clear and they thus limit the growth of reeds and woody plants. This means that these areas can be used by other animal species, such as frogs, toads and dragonflies, which in turn provide food for birds, such as storks. These areas also provide breeding or resting places for rare bird species, such as curlews and snipes. The water buffalo on this pasture normally have their "residence" on the Kragemann buffalo farm in Barlo and are only here to "work".
