Lady's Slipper Meadow (Frauenschuhwiese) Weser Uplands

Highlight • Natural Monument

Mid-May to mid-June, depending on the weather, is a good time to take a look at the great orchid meadow near Bevern / Holzminden.

Good shoes with profiled soles are required to walk the circular route!

What do three GIRLS do on FATHER'S DAY: Drive up the BE 1 towards HEAVEN (at 357.5 m above sea level, after all) and look at women's SHOES👠 😆😊😍🤭. They distributed the alcohol-free contents of the handcart into their backpacks and set off from the packed hiking parking lot on the B 64.
The castle hill, with its Klein and …

May 17, 2025,2. Tour: Runde zur Orchideenwiese

My second round started at the Burgberg hiking car park on the B64.

Passing the old quarry and the "Royal Prussian Optical Telegraph Station No. 28," I reached the highlight, the "Orchid Meadow," where the strictly protected lady's slipper delights visitors.

Beautiful to look at, it's just the right time for a visit.

I spontaneously went to see the lady's slipper blossoms 😍🌺This hike was actually planned for the weekend after next, but I read that the blooms weren't as abundant, so I moved my hike forward 🥾🌲
The right decision, since many of the flowers weren't looking so beautiful anymore 🫠

Swimming quality: 👎🏻
Kneipp quality: 👎🏻

A measly 14 days off and all those lovely hiking muscles are gone 🥺 But my mistress says it's okay, we can just get new ones 😀 So today I asked my best friends Hydra and Ute El if they could help us, and as befits a super pack, they of course said yes …

The first lady's slippers on the nationally known meadow are actually already blooming! The rest probably then in 1 - 2 weeks.

I don't usually reveal "secret places" on social media. But this meadow is not only well-known, but can also be walked on thanks to the path marked off with wooden slats and is recommended for all orchid lovers.

Today I was walking up the Burgberg, heading for the Lady's Slipper Meadow. I've been here several times and knew the orchids were finished blooming. There's a good replacement here: the columbine, which I personally find very beautiful. Of course, I also wanted stamp number 11.

Was unfortunately surprised by the rain and had to cancel. The last section of the tour was closed anyway. But otherwise nice round.
