On this nature reserve of the NRW Foundation, cow bells grow in April, wild orchids in June and autumn crops in autumn. For 30 years the lime grassland has not been fertilized and sheep grazed once a year in order to preserve and protect these rare plants.

On the whole hike I saw so many beautiful plants, now the butterflies are dancing around them, just gorgeous.
