Orchideen und weitere botanische Highlights des Salmwaldes

May 25, 2025

Salm

The Salmwald is the largest contiguous forest area in the Vulkaneifel region. What many do not know is that a variety of botanical treasures are hidden in the Salmwald. Why is that? The geological substrate of the Salmwald is partially composed of limestone – the so-called "Salmer Kalkmulde." The calcium-rich substrate is the prerequisite for the occurrence of beech forests with herbs like woodruff and wild garlic, and individual smaller tree-free areas with species-rich calcareous semi-dry grasslands and wet meadows with over 15 orchid species documented in the area.

If you feel like discovering some of these botanical beauties, I will guide you on my approx. 5-6 km long hike to these hidden locations. A camera should definitely not be missing from your backpack. Sturdy footwear and rain protection are recommended, and please bring your own refreshments.

Price: per person 15.00 €
