Osnabrück Travel Tip:
Geo and Nature Park TERRA.vita
Location of the TERRA.vita Nature Park
Osnabrück lies in the middle of a large nature park: the Nature Reserve of the Northern Teutoburg Forest, Wiehengebirge Hills and Osnabrück Region – Terra.vita for short. It covers an area of 1,200 square kilometres, making it Germany’s biggest nature reserve. In 2004, the Terra.vita nature reserve was awarded UNESCO Geopark status--a geopark is a territory with a unique landscape, special fossil or mineral discoveries or important geological formations--on account of its extraordinary role as a geological heritage site. The varied landscape around Osnabrück and in the geopark is ideal for exploring on foot, by bicycle or on horseback.
