Peony fields below the Bonsig on the Flachsleite

Highlight • Natural Monument

The peony fields are traditional for this region ("Peony Valley"). Large parts of the mountain slopes glow in deep red, especially in the heyday.

View from the Zietschkuppe over the Gleistal Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ascent from Löberschütz is steep and surefootedness is essential. The view makes up for all the effort. In spring (end of April to beginning of May) the spider plantar can be found.

Between Bonsig and Zietschkuppe, peonies bloom from May to June. Some perennial peonies may bloom as early as early May. In cooler locations, the flowers open from late May to early June and then bloom well into June.

May 17, 2025,Thüringen #2 Orchideen und Pfingstrosen

Since I was still well on time after my tour near Jena, I was also able to do the loop near Löberschütz. At the foot of the Zietschkuppe, some spider orchid blossoms could still be seen in the shade. The climb then continued, initially through some marsh orchids. Later, I passed meadows of marsh orchids surrounded by peonies. It was …

Such a beautiful thing!

Thanks @KatjaS for the inspiration!

It's mid-May, the peonies are in full bloom. They're joined by impressive orchids.

There are beautiful views of the valley everywhere. Above the Zietschkuppe, the trail leads through beautiful, wet beech forests!

We found the peace and quiet particularly relaxing: You can't hear any sounds except the wind, birds, and crickets.

Curious about Christel's tour - A Hike in the Blossom Frenzy - we set off today to the Zietschkuppe. And the journey was worth it. The pictures can't really capture the splendor of the flowers that can be found there. The sheer number of peonies alone is a sight to behold...
@Christel, thanks for this tour. There were quite a …

Thanks to @Gärtner🌵🪴🌺 on Tour🚶‍♂️ for this great idea. I had to implement it today since I had a day off planned. It was magnificent! So many orchids, so many different species, but also other flowers. A wonderful landscape! And even the first cherries from the tree. Simply gorgeous.

The basis for this beautiful hike was a tour by Gardener on Tour on komoot. However, I took a few shortcuts. The impressions were fantastic! Not only the plants, but also the view of the magnificent surroundings. Selecting the photos was quite a challenge, as you can tell from the number of photos.

Enjoyed a hike in the Löberschütz area today and harvested woodruff...
Of course, we also noticed many different orchids along the way.
Bumblebee orchid spotted for the first time this season...
It is now also the flowering time of the peonies, which shine red beautifully in the lush green of the meadows.
Recommended hiking area.

A little after-work flower and blossom walk took us north of Jena today—to the wild peonies, orchids, dittany, elecampane, meadow sage, daisies, and everything else there is to discover 🪻🌼😊🥰🪷🌸🌱—a dream 😍

On the way, we made a quick detour to one of the Touringen stamps we had missed on the Tautenburg Planet Trail 😅
