      Great idea that is a lot of fun !! wein-traeume.de
      You can order an original Franconian snack and eat it in the vineyards, of course with the delicious Franconian wine!

            The “Höhfeldplatte and Scharlachberg” nature reserve is located in the Main valley above the Thüngersheim vineyards on the barren soils of the Muschelkalk. The Höhfeldplatte was declared a natural monument as early as 1940. The dry grasslands and forests became a nature reserve in 2002. A special feature on the Höhfeldplatte is the steppe heath forest. This complex habitat is a very sparse pine forest that grows on a special type of poor grassland. Due to the slight shading of the poor grassland, numerous orchid species thrive here in large numbers. Many different types of orchids can be admired from May to July along the specially designed path on the dry grassland of the Höhfeldplatte.

              A wonderful place! You can walk along narrow paths through the nature reserve and search for rare orchids that grow under the pine trees on the shell limestone soil. At the beginning of the path there is an information board with the plants that grow here. Please do not leave the paths when searching.
