Umweltzentrum Heerser Mühle
Harald | July 16, 2010OWL Tour 2010 – Day 2: Our last destination on our second day of this tour before going to the camper park was the Umweltzentrum Heerser Mühle in Bad Salzuflen, a non-profit institution for environmental education.
The former sawmill (mentioned first in 1358) and 37 ha land have been turned into a center for nature and environmental education with seminar rooms, kitchens, a workshop, a small cafe, theme and school gardens. We went to see the various gardens as we are thinking of creating a public garden ourselves one day.
Most of the gardens are located on the island between the millrace and the Werre river. The Umweltzentrum Heerser Mühle is open to the public between 7am and 8pm, free of charge.
Even though there is a camper park in Bad Salzuflen, which would give us a chance to see this spa town, we picked a camper park further away in Schieder, where we wanted to visit a paper mill museum.
