The wild daffodils have now finished blooming. The wood anemones are now in full bloom. Especially when the sun is shining, they provide a beautiful white carpet of flowers in large parts of the forest where deciduous trees grow. On the plateaus, which enjoy the first warm spring sun all day long, there are already a few more bluebells in bloom. But they are not yet providing a purple-blue sea of flowers. The flanks of the valleys where bluebells grow are still completely green. Along the edges of the paths where the soil has become somewhat compacted by treading, the yellow star-shaped flowers of celandine provide the spring atmosphere. Less conspicuous spring bloomers that are also blooming in the meantime are dwarf periwinkle and common dog violet. Both have blue flowers. If it remains dry and sunny in the coming days, the wood anemones will certainly be the most conspicuous spring bloomer in the coming week. There will not be a blue carpet of flowers in the forest this weekend. From Saturday, the temporary traffic regulation will be in effect for the next 5 weekends. Please take into account the traffic signs and parking bans. April 12-13 is the first weekend with free shuttle buses from the station in Halle to the forest. More information can be found here.
