With a bit of luck, you will be able to observe the small herd of water buffalo grazing in the nature reserve behind the Forum Natur. The wet meadows provide the water-loving animals with an ideal habitat. The buffalo enliven the biodiversity, keep the pasture short, eat woody growth and reeds and thus ensure that storks, great egrets and other rare birds can rest and breed there. In April 2015, the water buffalo, which are considered robust, moved into the park; the herd consists of the mother animals Dobbie and Daisy and their children." language: "en" type: "Place" image: "https://dam.destination.one/752581/e2d6957804251f1d0a1947bae2224b093f7ca57f2d8164fc049c729108fdb184/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Teutoburg Forest > Discover the region > Excursion > POI" --- Share Aussichtsturm im Gartenschaupark Rietberg ========================================= - Vantage point/Observation tower Holzbeobachtungsturm in Naturpark, umgeben von Bäumen, mit bunten Spielzeugflugzeugen im Vordergrund.
