Bühlchen Nature Reserve – Orchids and Scenic View

Highlight • Natural Monument

It's fantastic when cowslips compete with orchids in bloom. A few weeks later you can even admire wild lady's slippers in the cordoned off area.

A beautiful vantage point on Weißenbach, directly in the short climb from the village up to the Dornbergpass hiking car park.

Those who take the P8 circular route should definitely make the short detour (0.8 km) to the Rosstrappe viewpoint. Once there, you will be rewarded with a magnificent view. A bank invites you to linger.

Already hiked the P8, today with wild orchids, for me simply a feast for the eyes, orchid and lady's slipper 🤓🧙‍♂️

North Hesse, P8, start in Trubenhausen, visited Eibenhain and Rosstrappe on the way there, detour was worth it 🤓 came across P8 and entered clockwise, absorbed great autumnal impressions 🧙‍♂️

A beautiful hike by the WTV. The Bühlchen (P8) is also a worthwhile destination in winter. You should definitely walk along the Rosstrappe.

March 8, 2024,Endlich einmal wieder raus Tour - Bühlchen - Heiligenberg und Rosstrappe 😄☀️🏔️🌲🌳

After a long forced break, today we finally went on a small, leisurely tour to get used to it. The weather was great and despite the fact that I didn't have the go-ahead to get going again, I just couldn't keep myself inside anymore. I just had to get out. 😅 So relax for now.
I still have countless tours …

March 8, 2024,Premiumweg P8 mit Abstecher zur Rosstrappe

So, here is my recorded tour and the pictures from Friday, which was a spontaneous appointment with Julian.
The P8 is basically the premium route in front of (or rather above) my front door 😀 ...we then extended it a bit with the Rosstrappe.
Because of the wonderful sun, we first went up to the Heiligenberg via the Fliegerwiese, then …

Sunshine, clouds and blue skies, we don't stay there for long on a day off. We haven't been to P8 in ages and in the extended version we have now also admired the view from the Rosstrappe. Guaranteed to return! 🤩
In comparison to the Reinhardswald, it became clear how far nature has come with its spring cleaning in some …

April 5, 2026,Erweiterter Premiumweg P8 Heiligenberg und Bühlchen

The P8 Heiligenberg and Bühlchen premium trail, at 7.6 kilometers, is one of the shortest P trails and impresses with its interesting alternation between open country and forest paths.
I have extended this P trail to 13.6 kilometers by including a viewpoint.

And it blooms and blooms and blooms...

Very nice tour along the P8 path in Frau-Holle Land. Great views, colorfully blooming meadows, simply lovely places to rest in this wonderful nature. In May this tour is a hit. Absolutely recommended. The only thing you can actually save yourself is the detour to the Rosstrappe lookout point, as there are great …
