Podcast "So or so - your Münsterland"

Horses are simply part of the Münsterland - 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 sports. 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.

Idyllically situated in a valley meadow near Tecklenburg is the moated castle Haus Marck. A manor house that was first mentioned in the 14th century as the seat of the von Horne family. A truly historic place. For it was here that the preliminary negotiations for the Peace of Westphalia took place after the 30 Years' War. Haus Marck has been inhabited by the von Diepenbroick-Grüter family for 200 years. During guided tours, wedding ceremonies and concerts, the public can immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the historic moated castle: private collections of the family members - for example, pickelhauben from the imperial era or the wonderful Knights' Hall, with its numerous portraits, where the von Diepenbroick family also celebrates private occasions. Hostess Ricarda von Diepenbroick takes the listeners of the "SO OR SO" podcast on an exclusive tour. Go on an acoustic tour through the special property and discover sides of the house that otherwise remain closed.

Rafting in the Münsterland? It’s possible! And it takes place on the River Stever near Olfen. Guests can experience a slice of unspoilt nature on the electric raft ‘Antonia’. Here, the Stever floodplains show themselves at their best: grazing horses and cattle, colonies of Canada geese, kingfishers and storks. But there’s plenty to see in terms of architecture too: the sight of the ‘Alte Fahrt’ triple-arch bridge is a real treat. The Stever floodplains are an ideal leisure destination and, at the same time, a wonderful nature experience right in the heart of the Münsterland region.
