This beautiful picnic area is surrounded by wild garlic forests and right next to the"old oak tree of Ichterloh". Perhaps a nightingale will greet you with its song at the entrance to the 230-hectare woodland area. The Ichterloh nature reserve is located in the municipalities of Ascheberg and Nordkirchen in the district of Coesfeld.
Once you arrive at the picnic area, a vantage point with a sweeping view over the Münsterland landscape awaits you. Ichterloh Castle once stood at the foot of the hollow, but disappeared after 500 years of history. On site, you can enjoy a relaxing bike ride through the forest or hike across vast fields and meadows.
