Living ecosystems on the Westernmersch
Nature lovers can experience the impressive diversity of flora and fauna on the Westernmersch at the Eickelborn "Zum Lippesteg" canoe access point. Embedded in breathtaking landscapes, this unique area is teeming with living ecosystems.

The renaturalized Westernmersch - a paradise for flora and fauna
As natural habitats have often been destroyed by human activity, the Westernmersch is a glimmer of hope for nature conservation efforts in Lippstadt. By reintroducing native flora and fauna, this area is flourishing again and providing a safe habitat for animals. The continued success of this project shows how important it is to preserve our environment and protect the delicate balance in ecosystems.

A visit to the Wasserschloß Hovestadt
The Eickelborn canoe access point "Zum Lippesteg" not only offers access to impressive nature experiences, but also to the historic sight of the Wasserschloß Hovestadt. This magnificent castle is located just a few kilometers from the access point and will delight you with its impressive architecture and well-tended gardens. After an eventful canoe tour on the Lippe, a visit to the Wasserschloß Hovestadt is an ideal cultural way to round off the day.

Start your canoe tour at the Eickelborn canoe boarding point and combine the enjoyment of nature with a detour to the Wasserschloß Hovestadt. Pay responsible attention to nature, which is worth protecting, and follow the rules: Trespassing on the banks is prohibited after the descent and you must ride in the original riverbed during high water. If the surrounding still waters are frozen, navigation is also prohibited.
