Around your picnic site you will find the "Edible City". Here you can not only pick the fresh herbs for your picnic, but also experience a lot.
At various places in Warendorf, you will find fruit trees and insect-friendly plants in addition to countless raised beds for fruit and vegetables. Here, special attention is paid to the environment and everyone can enjoy the fresh delicacies. Picking is expressly permitted!
But that's not all you can do there. You will also find a participation station on site, which was created in cooperation with the Vamos association in keeping with the motto "Münsterland - local - global".
Here, everything revolves around the topic of "tomatoes" and their cultivation conditions in mass production and exploitation of the workers.
Fun Fact: Did you know that the tomato is actually a berry?
See for yourself and enjoy the Emskolk picnic area in Warendorf just the way you like it!

Horses simply belong to the Münsterland region - this is particularly evident at the North Rhine-Westphalian State Stud in Warendorf, the horse capital. It is the centre in NRW when it comes to breeding and equestrian sport. 100 horses are housed here in the historic stables. The 80 employees take care of their daily well-being. Trainees also share the fascination for horses here. We talk about their daily routine in the current podcast episode and learn a lot of interesting facts about the Warendorf State Stud.
