Tree Discovery Trail
Go on a nature discovery tour in the middle of the city! Our Tree Discovery Trail takes you to eight stops in the Schlossgarten. Each stop introduces you to the inhabitants of the garden’s “tree ecosystem”. These include woodpeckers, deadwood and mushrooms, insects, the uses of wood, bats and tree species. Signs at each stop provide detailed information, along with vivid illustrations and quizzes to test your knowledge!
The information at each stop of the tour is only offered in German, but an English brochure is available free of charge at the Botanical Garden and in the Schloss.

Children's University
The Children's University is a programme of activities for third- to seventh-grade pupils, jointly organised by the University of Münster and the newspaper Westfälische Nachrichten. In child-friendly language, instructors from the University of Münster explain what their research is about, why their work is important and how the topic affects children.
