The Naturpark Münden |
|||||
The Naturpark Münden is one of the oldest Naturparks in Germany. It was founded in 1959 and there are only four parks in Germany with a longer tradition. |
|||||
Our Naturpark is characterized by rivers, small streams and huge mixed beech forests, covering about 45.000 ha. Many of the small streams are retained in their natural form, flowing through quiet valleys, presenting habitats for kingfishers or white-throated dippers. Even the black stork breeds in the Naturpark secreted in the large forest areas. |

Numerous small villages look back on a diverse cultural history. The high availability of timber and water allowed early colonization of the region. And due to the big rivers permitting an easy transport of goods further north promoted trading. |
Werra, Fulda and Weser |

Close to the small town Dransfeld, north-east of Hann. Münden, seldom orchid species can be found. And the tower - built originally by the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauß for mapping the area of the kingdom Hannover - offers a breathtaking panorama view upon the landscape of the Naturpark Münden and beyond. |
