And at the end, today there was another visit to an already known orchid meadow, and here too, quite a bit had changed within 3 weeks: Here too, many pyramidal bugles, with the violet stem and the large two-leaf, I reached 7 orchid species today. But the orchids from last time were practically completely

Since Zeutern was on the way back from Östringen, I wanted to check what had changed in the Rennweghohle in 3 weeks, and it was exciting: Back then I had only seen the Helm-Knabenkraut, which was now partially faded, but now there were really many Pyramiden-Hundswurze. And in another area also the Gr

I was again looking for wild orchids nearby and again it was only a small patch of meadow where I found them. And some are already wilting, but I still found 3 different species:
Pyramiden-Hundswurz,
Bocks-Riemenzunge and Mücken-Händelwurz.

Sempre la bella figura: Morgenlaufrunde in Padua
Nach der ganzen Pasta, Pizza und Gelato war es wieder an der Zeit dafür zu sorgen, dass der Speck eher auf der Pizza bleibt, weswegen ich eine kleine Morgenrunde zum nächsten Bächlein eingelegt hatte 🙂

After all the pasta, pizza and gelato, it was time to make sure the bacon stayed on the pizza, which is why I took a short morning round to the nearest little stream 🙂

On Sunday, I had chosen a very scenic tour for the finale, and the ascent was quite arduous, and at the summit, I wasn't alone with the great panorama, of course, but it was beautiful! I want to go to Lago Maggiore again!

After I had taken care of the cultural program with Isola Bella in the morning and then happily escaped the crowds, I was drawn to the fresh mountain air 😊
And the tour leads very nicely over the hills with a view over Lake Maggiore (except for the skyscrapers of Milan) on one side and the snow-capped

And again I followed a tour recommendation from my favorite hiking book series, which did not disappoint me: At Lake Maggiore, the clouds are also hanging in the mountains right now, which had first rained themselves out. Around noon, the rain subsided, so I waited out the remaining drops in a café before

Unfortunately, the sky was a bit overcast, so the show-off pictures didn't quite turn out, but it was still beautiful: a hike through fields with wild daffodils. Here you can find information about the current state of the bloom: narcisses.com/fr; also in German: narcisses.com/de

Wild orchids can also be photographed here:
Marsh orchid, Bee orchid, Spider orchid, Military orchid, and one was not entirely clear; possibly a hybrid of Military and Marsh orchid.

And another small addendum from the weekend: I used a family visit to stop by another potential orchid location on the way back after a heavy rain shower, and lo and behold, I found what I was looking for:
Bocks-Riemenzunge, Großes Zweiblatt, Pyramiden-Hundswurz, Helm-Knabenkraut and particularly beautiful: Hummel-Ragwurz.
