We saw up to 10 storks here at the end of June. And what was great was that you could hear the storks clattering.

Pasque flowers (Pulsatilla vulgaris) are found primarily in the Black Forest or in alpine meadows and sunny slopes. The name "pasque flower" could have several origins. One possibility is that the plant got its name from its former proximity to settlements or kitchens, as it often grew near human dwellings. Another theory relates to the plant's use in ancient times, possibly in herbal medicine or cooking.

Gottenheim is a village in the Black Forest, known for its idyllic landscape of vineyards and forests. The municipality lies on the southern edge of the Kaiserstuhl mountain range and offers numerous opportunities for hikes and excursions.

Many pasque flowers in particular grow on this small meadow embankment. They are also called pasque flowers because the shape of the half-closed flower resembles a bell or a pasque flower. The diminutive form “Kühchen-Schelle” probably led to the name “Küchen-Schelle”. It is on the Red List of endangered plants and is therefore a strictly protected species. It blooms on this slope in impressive numbers from March onwards (unfortunately only until April, rarely in May). Then the bright purple or violet-colored perianths - with yolk-yellow stamens in an attractive contrast - impress powerfully! Please only enjoy this floral splendor from the path!

Here on the Lembenweg there is one of the few remaining loess hollow alleys on the Tuniberg. As at the Kaiserstuhl, at the Tuniberg huge amounts of fine Ice Age sand and dust were blown in from the Rhine plain, which settled there and formed thick layers of loess. Decades of cultivation by winegrowers and erosion have created the loess hollow alleys. Many fell victim to land consolidation. The remaining hollow alleys are now retreats for a unique flora and fauna.

An incredibly beautiful vantage point in the morning!
