In the Heart of Green: Experience Wildflowers and Wild Herbs Around Midsummer
When nature around Erlangen is in full bloom, this excursion leads to the Handtuchwiese at the edge of the Meilwald. On Sunday, June 14, 2026, vhs Erlangen invites you to an expert-guided hike, where wild herbs release their intense aromas and bushes, shrubs, and trees show their full summer strength.
A Morning Full of Scents, Tastes, and Nature Knowledge
From 09:00 to 13:00, direct nature experiences are the focus. Participants will discover how flowering herbs, shrubs, and wild plants can create extraordinary vegan spreads, pestos, and syrups. Additionally, there is a health perspective on the plant world: many species are considered valuable natural pharmacies and can be safely used with expert knowledge.
Guided Excursion with Practical Benefits
The event is designed as an excursion for people aged 16 and over and combines nature experience with in-depth knowledge transfer. The route in the green surroundings of Erlangen creates space for attentiveness, deceleration, and intensive impressions. Especially in early summer, the Meilwald unfolds a special event atmosphere, where scents, colors, and sounds have an immediate impact.
