The beautiful flowering period for the bluebells is over.

Due to the cold, the high beeches are getting leaves slowly, and not all of them are. So the bluebells can come in bloom beautifully. The sun and the fresh green leaves of the smaller beeches combine for a wonderful show of light and shadow over the purple-blue sea of flowers. According to the weather forecast, Wednesday and Thursday will be beautiful. If you want to enjoy the splendour of spring in quiet, it’s better to come in the week than at the weekend.

After some days of sun, this is a day with diffuse light, but this is just as beautiful. The high beeches aren’t getting leaves yet. So things look good for the Easter weekend. If you prefer to walk in peace and quiet in the forest, it’s best to come in the week. It can be very busy here on Sundays in this period of the blue flowers.

More and more bluebells keep appearing. Even the valleys are now getting the intense blue purple colour of spring. The high beeches play the game and give the bluebells every opportunity to enjoy the sun. Things are looking great for the Easter weekend, the beautiful period might last until then. On some places, a fern leaf appears between the bluebells, but they still go quite unnoticed.  Bear’s garlic has also started flowering.

Wonderful weather for walking. Spring is in full force in the forest, giving it a more and more purple shade every day. The high beeches aren’t in leaf yet so the sunlight reaches the forest floor and the bluebells are given every opportunity to thrive. Even if the beeches start getting leaves tomorrow, we still have about one week to experience this magical sight.

The light in the forest is different every day and changes the colours in the forest accordingly. Today we see a tender shade of purple and green. A lot of bluebells haven’t started flowering yet. Only a single high beech starts getting some leaves. It’s a pure delight to walk in the forest.

The play of colours has now begun. Deep purple flowering bluebells are combined with transparent bright green from the young beech leaves. This is exactly the sight that many nature lovers are looking forward to seeing. Let’s hope  that the high beeches don’t start getting leaves soon, so that the fairytale can last for some more time.

The first young beech leaves appear on the low beech. On the plateaus the magical time has started. But the next days the purple blue color will get even more intense. The valley flanks get a first hint of purple. There are more flowering bluebells every day.
