    Hiking

    The view over the sea of flowers of the Märzenbecher is impressive. Here is the largest occurrence of this beautiful plant in Hesse! March beetles love it wet, so the location here is ideal for them. Please stay on the path. The flowers will thank you. Märzenbecher are also poisonous and the Märzenbecher area is an adder area.

    Hiking

    In the forest near Homberg/Ohm there is the largest contiguous area of March snowflakes in Hesse. At the moment (March 9, 2025) the March snowflakes are blooming beautifully and it is worth taking a short hike there.

    Hiking

    I can't tear myself away from the beautiful sight of the many Märzenbecher - it's like a state horticultural show in the forest. That was the goal of our hike and really worth seeing. Tip: Only in March :-)
    I have to correct: In 2024 there were definitely "February cups" and by the 1st third of March the peak flowering period had passed, so keep an eye on the general vegetation progress for the right time.
