Nature in Baden-Württemberg

In warm weather, nature comes back to the fore in Baden-Württemberg. In the sunny southern part of Germany , nature is at home and in spring it puts on a show. Not only parks and gardens that awaken, but also green adventures: walks, excursions, bike rides or trips for a farm holiday. Parks and protected oases, mountain pastures, rivers, lakes, gorges and waterfalls, fields, woods and vineyards for a regenerating full immersion in the green.

 

Among the experiences in the green of nature, not to be missed in Baden-Württemberg is the Baumwipfelpfad, in the Black Forest: a unique opportunity to explore the famous forest region. An educational path, along a walkway and up a wooden tower that - among imposing firs, pines and beeches - extends for over a kilometer, 20 meters high. Which become 40, if you reach the top of the panoramic tower. The scenery from up there is beautiful, lush and oxygenating. In the Black Forest , wild camping is prohibited, but there are six new trekking camps available to tourists . The pitches are equipped only with a fireplace and composting toilet, the rest is wild nature. Like a free campsite , but regulated, respecting the environment. The fields, a day's walk from each other, are hidden in the woods and GPS coordinates are needed to find them. Info: www.naturparkschwarzwald.de - www.tourism-bw.com

Between the infinite shades of the park that covers it and those of Lake Constance that surrounds it, the garden island of Mainau is an incredible palette of greens, dotted with the colors of different flowers. To the chromatic spectacle of nature, the blues of the sky, the yellow of the sun, the gold of the stars and the white of the moon are added. For example, the 2019 theme for the island's gardeners was "Sun, Moon, and Stars." The celestial bodies have a great influence, not only on men, but also on nature and its cycles. Think of the importance of the sun for photosynthesis, the phases of the moon for sowing, the dictates of biodynamic cultivation, etc. There is an ancient and indissoluble bond between heaven and earth, which is also reflected in the names of some plants: sunflower, astranzia, astar, edelweiss or moonflower (Ipomea bianca). Themed flower beds, green installations, exhibitions and even zodiac menus in restaurants, season after season, will therefore celebrate this theme. At the same time, the natural vegetative cycle of the island will give a firmament of blooms: orchids, tulips, rhododendrons, roses, perennial shrubs, dahlias. Palm trees and lemons will give a Mediterranean inspiration.
