June 9, 2023,Tour 2: Diemeltaler Schmetterlingssteig 🦋 -Heinturmrunde von Warburg

The hike leads from the Schützenplatz in Warburg through the old town and through the monastery village of Wormeln to Germete. The serpentine path on the Heinberg leads to the Heinturm. Numerous orchids were already blooming on the Heinberg.
