Hiking
This information panel is part of stage 9, "Rare Orchids," of the popular SaaleHorizontale hiking trail around Jena. It provides information about the region's special plants and the species-rich dry and semi-dry meadows of the limestone slopes in the Leutra Valley.
More than 26 rare orchid species grow here, including lady's slipper orchids, coralroot orchids, and various marsh orchids. Especially in early summer, during the orchid bloom, a closer look at the meadows along the trail is worthwhile. An exciting stop for nature lovers and hikers on the SaaleHorizontale. 🌿🌸
