Baierdorf bee nature trail

Open

Information boards along the way provide information about the life of bees. When you arrive at the organic beekeeper Helfenschneider, a bee display hive provides an insight into the busy hustle and bustle.

Our farmers pay particular attention to flowering times and sustainable harvesting, as bees are essential to maintaining the biodiversity of our plant world. The 2.5 km long, easy hike takes you from Vockenberg to Baierdorf. During the tour you will learn interesting facts about bees.
