Dülmenhe wild horses

The wildlings from the Merfeld. The wild horse enclosure in the Merfelder Bruch is one of the most worth seeing destinations in the Münsterland and is west of Dülmen.

From the mid-19th century onwards, the Duke von Croÿ family established a reserve for them, the Merfelder Bruch wild horse reserve, which has since expanded to around 400 hectares and is now home to a herd of approximately 400 wild horses. This extensive area of ​​pasture, moor, heath, birch thickets, and oak stands is the only remaining wild horse stud farm on the European continent.

From March / April (depending on the weather) to November 1, the wild horse track is open to visitors on weekends and holidays if the weather is good from 10.00 a.m. to 18.00 p.m.
