Tree Discovery Trail (Baumlehrpfad) in Natur- und Geopark TERRA.vita

Highlight • Trail

On numerous folding panels you can first see a branch with a leaf or needle and fruit and get a description of the bark.

Now it's time to guess...?!? 🤓

The answer and description of this tree then follows inside.

Start and finish: Bippen/Maiburg car park

I'm slowly starting again on the TERRA.tracks, of which I only know one so far.

For Mother's Day, I'm going on a short walk that's just over 3 km long. After all, you have to earn the planned ice cream sundae at the end. 😉
