Close to nature in the Johannisbach Meadow: Natural history hike with bird calls and Heck cattle
This natural history hike opens the view for one of the most species-rich cultural landscapes in Bielefeld. Between open meadows, extensively farmed areas, and year-round grazing by Heck cattle, a lively discovery experience arises that connects local history, nature conservation, and impressive landscape observation.
A walk through a vibrant cultural landscape
The Johannisbach Meadow stands for nature-friendly recreation and a piece of urban landscape where biodiversity becomes visible. The typical bird species of the open cultural landscape are the focus of the tour, including field lark, cuckoo, yellow wagtail, and partridge. Those who listen closely will experience the meadow not just as a pathway, but as an acoustic stage full of songs and calls.
Hands-on nature conservation
For decades, extensive farming and grazing with Heck cattle have shaped the area. Here, it becomes clear how care, ecological enhancement, and cultural heritage interact. The hike explains why this form of land development is so important for the preservation of rare species and how city and landscape grow together in Bielefeld.
Experiencing with all senses
The tour is aimed at nature lovers who want to experience the landscape not just visually but consciously. Sturdy footwear and binoculars are recommended equipment, as many observations are best achieved with some distance and patience. Especially in the early evening hours, the meadow unfolds a particularly calm, atmospheric effect.
