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.

Hippelsteinchen Gönnersdorf, © Touristik GmbH Gerolsteiner Land, Ute Klinkhammer

Durch die Wacholderheiden zum Hippelsteinchen in Gönnersdorf
Aug 27, 2025

The limestone ridges in the area of the Eifel limestone hollows are known as the Tuscany of the Eifel. The appearance of the landscape with its impressive juniper heaths is very close to the Italian model. Centuries of extensive grazing have created valuable habitats. With a little luck, you can discover orchids and gentians here, or observe colourful butterflies, lizards and slow worms. The highlight of the round tour is the "Hippelsteinchen", a dolomite rock around which numerous legends revolve. Price: € 5.00 per person, € 8.00 per couple, free for children under 10. Meeting point: 54584 Gönnersdorf, Zum Hirdenberg (drive straight on from the B 421 to the car park).
