Badberg hike

alt

The Kaiserstuhl is an old inactive volcano and famous for it's wine.

alt

On almost every point you see vineyards in the landscape. We got there by car parked the car and went up the hill.

alt

In summer it's really hot and dry in this area but yesterday we had a lot of clouds and a bit of a nasty wind.

alt

On the way to the top you have many nice views at the little villages with churches and only a few houses.

alt

Most people are working in the wine business here. We've been lucky at a little shelter they sold some wine for picknick. We couldn't resist and had our first wine before noon. 馃榾

alt

But our main goal was to spot some orchids. And we found a few and took some pictures of it.

alt

The whole meadows you see in the pictures are full of orchids and other rare plant species.

alt

We choose a different way back to the car and came across a lot of blossoming apple trees.

alt

I highly recommend to visit the Kaiserstuhl in spring. In this time every thing is in perfect colour and shape.

alt

If you aren't able to be here in spring then come in autumn when the grapes are ready to eat. They are delicious.
