Flower Walk - Pine Forests

A well-marked trail leads through the two protected areas Hessenberg and Nättenberg. From May to June, numerous orchids appear very close to the path. In July and August, other beauties such as the branched grass lily, the knobby thistle, and the mountain aster are in full bloom. On sunny days, if you keep your eyes open, you might even spot a rare dragonfly butterfly.
