Oh, after more than 1 year we finally managed to find an appointment together 🙏. Petra, I and Mischka went with Wodi, Tini and Moritz to explore the "Old World" nature trail. The weather was perfect for this beautiful round. The rapeseed fields shone in the sun and a few fruit trees were also in bloom. After the fronts of …

Today we had made a great hike with very nice company 👍. Except for the detour to the sundial, we followed the original route of the "Old World Nature Trail".

April 3, 2025,🚶🏼‍♀️Naturlehrpfad "Alte Welt" - Heimkirchen

The municipality of Heimkirchen has been part of Niederkirchen since 1969. The municipality still has a very agricultural character, but has lost many farms over the last 100 years (only 7 of 65 in 2015). Along the nature trail, you can learn about the cultural landscape and its flora and fauna on many information boards.

April 20, 2022,So weit das Auge sehen kann👀🌱🌞 Mit Weitblick durch die alte Welt🚶‍♀️

Today I used the free afternoon to clear my head. Since the rape is in bloom, I remembered last year's sea of yellow flowers near Heimkirchen. So let's go😅 In bright sunshine I went and was again very impressed by all the blooming trees and bushes. Unfortunately, the rapeseed fields were not yet in full bloom and will probably need …

Actually, I wanted to do Heia after the strenuous night shift, but the weather was so nice and so I was drawn to the sleepy "Old World" in the North Palatinate Uplands. Last year I was there with Petra, Tini and Wodi. Everything was full of rape fields. I like to remember this great tour in the best of company …
