Pure nature at the nature farm

A parking spot near Wesel with views across the fields. The ground is gravel. On one side, a piece of land is left to nature: deer roam through, bees hum in the mornings. On the other side, a cow pasture and a garden with old fruit trees, where a large sunflower field stood in 2022. If you want to venture further, it's a good twenty kilometers to the Ruhr area, to the Haniel spoil heap near Bottrop or to the Haltern reservoir.1

What roadsurfer spots writes

„The ground is covered with gravel. The pitch offers views across the fields, with a natural area in the background where deer, hares, hedgehogs and bees live and are allowed to roam undisturbed!“

Sights in the area1

Halde Haniel

A colliery spoil tip near Bottrop, a good twenty kilometres away. A Stations-of-the-Cross path winds between mining relics and wooden totems, with a wide view over the Ruhr region — the classic spot for sunset.

Tetraeder Bottrop

A walkable steel pyramid on a spoil heap in Bottrop, lit up at night. The open, slightly swaying stairs lead up to a viewing platform, a detour worth making on clear evenings.

Halterner Stausee

A shallow lake in the northern Ruhr region, with a sandy beach and sailing boats. The place to go on hot days, when the sun bakes the gravel pitch.
