    Tips

    October 2, 2025

    The "yellow lichens" in the Kirnitzsch Valley of Saxon Switzerland are primarily the sulphur lichen (Chrysothrix chlorina), a symbiotic relationship between fungus and algae that colonizes sandstone walls and tree bark, adding a distinctive color to the landscape with its bright yellow appearance. It is a typical element of the flora in the rocky and ravine areas of the national park, where conditions are particularly favorable for mosses and lichens.
