The Franconian apothecary's garden in Schwebheim can be experienced by visiting the herb pavilion, which fascinates visitors with an interactive exhibition and modern media stations. A 2.7 km long and seasonally changing herb trail invites you to take a stroll.

Herb pavilion with interactive exhibition and modern media stations:

Schulstraße, 97525 Schwebheim

The Schwebheim herb growers now have the know-how to grow 54 different medicinal and culinary herbs on 100 hectares of land.

It all started about 350 years ago, when natural scientists became aware of the botanical diversity in Schwebheim's fields. Since then, interest in herbs has never waned. While they were once collected in the wild, from the 19th century onwards farmers began to professionally cultivate their fields with medicinal and culinary herbs: initially, in addition to marshmallow, valerian, angelica, tarragon and peppermint, this soon included lemon balm, parsnips and root parsley. In the past, buyers came to the village after the harvest, but since 1923 Schwebheim itself has been home to trading and processing companies. (Info: Schwebheim.de)

Opening hours: April 1 to October 31 daily 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (free entry)
