At the Bühlchen Nature Reserve, the Orchid Trail, located on the species-rich grasslands of the Muschelkalk hilltop, delights visitors with a stunning sea of colors in May. Various orchid species bloom, white mountain anemones glow, and among them, you can discover small cat's paws and blue milkworts, fragrant wild herbs, and rare butterflies.

At Premiumweg 8 there are several nature reserves where, depending on the season, orchids and other beautiful plants grow.
Bühlchen is a shell limestone hilltop with nutrient-poor grassland where you can discover orchids, gentian, anemones and other wild flowers and herbs as well as juniper.
There are fenced areas where mainly orchids are supposed to grow.
Today I didn't discover any orchids ( too late ), but a lot of other wild flowers and herbs. I was fascinated by the gold thistle.
I think this patch of earth is beautiful at any time of the year. I will definitely come here again 😀🙋‍♀️

Despite several signs that ask you not to leave the paths, it happens again and again (I saw it myself). Unbelievable! 👎👎
