The orchid path leads not only past the Frauenschuh (flowering period from May to first half of June), but also to around twenty other orchid species that bloom extensively throughout the summer, including the cuckoo flower, the fly orchid, the nestroot.

Hiking

Beautiful hiking trail past various rocks. Protected plants still flourish here and the natural foodstuffs should still be preserved, so in this sense, the urgent request from me not to leave the path.
You get great photos of the colorful orchids with the zoom of your camera.
