Here you will also find handsome ruins and the wonderful vision, a large occurrence of true cowslip.
The distinguishing features of the cowslip, among others the primrose flower, are the yolk-yellow, strongly scented flowers with their five orange spots (juice marks) in the throat of the flower. The high cowslip, however, smells less strong and the throat of their flowers is golden yellow. The calyx is in the true cowslip pale green, bulbous and bell-shaped, while he rests close to the flower crown leaves in the high cowslip.
The cowslip is under protection.
Both the so-called Forest Cowslip or High Cowslip (Primula elatior) and the True Cowslip (Primula veris) are under special protection in Germany and many other countries. The medicinal plants have been pushed to almost the edge of extinction by extensive agriculture and wild collections in some regions, so that today they may no longer be picked or excavated in many places.
