Tips from the Community

March 20, 2026, Ehlenbeck Orchard Meadow

For a while, the ancient agricultural culture of the orchard meadow seemed to have been forgotten, as higher yields were achieved with closely planted monocultures. But at some point, it was discovered to be ecologically valuable, brought out of the proverbial "oblivion" and experienced a partial comeback. Fortunately, this is also the case here in the Düssel valley.
