    Tips

    December 7, 2018

    In the nature reserve Bleikuhlen near Blankenrode you can discover a unique plant world. Due to the heavy metal-rich soils grow and thrive here some rare plants. One of these is the Violet Galmei pansy. This is even unique in lead chairs and nowhere else in the world. Myths and legends also report that with a bit of luck in dense fog in the late autumn, you can also see dwarves working there, who are supposed to mine valuable metals in the underground passages and caves since the beginning of the Middle Ages.

      A worthwhile detour. Even if the birds are scarce, the fauna is still there.

        On the information boards you can learn something about the history of lead pits and the unique flora here. There is also a seat for a rest.
