Dingdener Heide, Protected area in Hamminkeln, Germany

The Dingdener Heide spans 212 hectares of wetlands, meadows, pine forests, and deciduous woodlands between Münsterland and Lower Rhine regions.

In the early 1920s, a major fire swept through the area, leading local farmers to cultivate the land, followed by intensive farming in the 1970s.

The landscape project displays centuries of land development through educational trails, observation points, and information panels about local flora and fauna.

Visitors can access the area from parking lots at Klausenhof Academy and Bokern Forest Cemetery, with designated paths for walking and cycling.

Twenty percent of all documented vascular plants in this protected area are listed in North Rhine-Westphalia's endangered species registry.
