The Davert

The Davert is a densely wooded cultural landscape on the border between the districts of Warendorf and Coesfeld and the city of Münster. Together with the neighbouring Hohe Ward, it is home to the largest contiguous woodland area in Münsterland.

Due to its great biodiversity, the Davert has been designated a bird and nature reserve. Among other things, you will find many old oaks, hornbeams and fluttering elms here. If you look closely, you might spot middle spotted woodpeckers, great spotted woodpeckers and other species, as well as bats and honey buzzards. The "Davert" is also known as a butterfly forest - if you're lucky, you might come across a rare Schiller butterfly.
