Orchid Trail Gersheim

Highlight • Trail

VERY IMPORTANT: Stay on the paths! The plants are often so inconspicuous that they're easily trampled.

More than 20 rare orchid species bloom in this area from April to July. It's beautifully situated above the Blies Valley.

Wild Garlic Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A beautiful, narrow path leads through the forest here.
In spring, a lot of wild garlic blooms here.
The path reminded us a bit of a jungle path.
