Go to the moor at the right time of year, and you will be blown away by the purple splendor. Depending on the course of the summer, you can expect the heathland at the end of August / beginning of September.

The heather blossom - an incomparable natural spectacle

But when does the heather actually bloom? Common heather (Calluna Vulgaris) blooms from August to September. Then the landscape is bathed in a strong violet and develops its very special appeal. A rule of thumb says that the broom heather from August 8th. until September 9th blooms. But of course the flowering can start earlier or later.

Beautiful area, even without purple heather it is beautiful. I will definitely come back when the heather blooms again.

In late summer and early autumn, the heather, in full bloom, turns a beautiful purple and pink. Vast fields of heather create a picturesque landscape that exudes peace and tranquility. The soft hum of bees and the subtle perfume of the flowers complete the experience. A perfect place for walking or cycling and fully enjoying nature in its most colorful season.
