Nature exploration.

Due to its location directly on the Three Rivers Route, on Wanderweg Hohe Mark Steig and as informative, enlightening, inviting  NaturparkHaus Esselt also offers individual hikers, cyclists and nature seekers a lot of amazing things about the Lower Rhine fauna and flora: a variety of extraordinary dragonflies on the Issel and a varied meadow of scattered and wild flowers.

When walking through the forest you might be lucky enough to spot a flock of deer, but rarely just the badgers or foxes that make their home here, while the squirrels and woodpeckers are unimpressed by visitors.

Arrival:

1. a) via the A3 Oberhausen – Arnhem motorway, exit Wesel-Schermbeck in the direction of Schermbeck to the first traffic light, from here follow the signs to the Otto Pankok Museum and turn left into Postweg to the Landgasthof Voshövel, turn left into Alte Raesfelder Straße (signposted), then turn right into Otto Pankok-Weg (signposted) to the museum.

b.) via federal road 70 from Wesel in the direction of Brünen to Elmer Mühle, from here follow the signs to the right into Becksstege and right into Otto Pankok-Weg to the museum.

The last part of the way to the museum is on foot. Your car can be parked in the signposted visitor parking lot on Otto Pankok Weg.

On the grounds of Haus Esselt in Hünxe lived the famous painter, sculptor and philanthropist Otto Pankok with his family. The former barn right next door became a museum after his death (1966), where his great works are now on display. You can also discover the wonderfully spacious and wild garden at the biparcours.

The meeting and starting point is between the two buildings at the beginning of the landscape painting trail. From here you can embark on an exciting biparcours full of action and knowledge questions. The path passes several beautiful places and turns a walk into an experience for the whole family.
