Münster tailor-made: Walking tours

Leisure tour around the Aasee

With its landscaped park, the Aasee offers a whole range of interesting recreational activities for young and old - from a walk with subsequent rest upon the Aasee Terraces through the sailing trip to the zoo visit.

About 3,600 animals from all continents inhabit exemplary facilities such as the ZoORANGerie for orang-utans, lion-tailed macaques and oriental small-clawed otters or the Affricaneum for gorillas, chimpanzees, and African pigs. In the permanently open dolphinarium, dolphins and sea lions show their abilities several times a day.

There is a place in Münster where heaven on earth can be experienced underneath 9000 artificial stars, and voyages through time into the Mesozoic can be undertaken in the blink of an eye. For stargazers, dinosaur aficionados, and all those who are interested in nature and people and want to know the way the world works, the LWL Museum for Natural History with its major planetarium is the place to be.
