On sunny days, wood anemones create a beautiful white carpet of flowers in large parts of the forest. The many short but heavy rain showers do leave their mark on the petals, which become damaged. The plateaus that enjoy the warmth of the sun all day long turn a purplish-blue color. The long, narrow bluebell leaves begin to droop under their own weight, and the flowering stalks carry the flowers ever higher. But here, too, there are still many plants with flower buds. On the flanks of the valleys, flowering proceeds more slowly. Along the edges of the paths, moschatel blooms, with five tiny greenish-yellow flowers on a cube-shaped inflorescence, and lords-and-ladies lure moth flies into their spathes to pollinate the flowers in their inflorescences. After being confined for a night, they are released after receiving a shower of pollen to go and pollinate a nearby arum. Starting this weekend, temporary toilets will be available at parking 1a and at the parking lot at the forest museum, as well as a toilet cabin at the forest pavilion. The special traffic regulations also come into effect this weekend; you can find all practical information here. Be sure to bring good walking shoes and a bottle of water. Help protect the forest: always stay on the paths, even when taking photos, and even where no ropes have been placed.
