Eichelkamp nature and bee trail

Created by the local tree association, the Eichelkamp nature trail offers lots of interesting facts for young and old and brings visitors closer to nature.

For example, visitors learn that trees clean the air we breathe and that an 80-year-old tree can store the CO2 emissions of a family of four. Trees relieve our climate, filter dust from the air free of charge and are therefore as effective as an expensive air filter. So there are many reasons to protect and preserve trees.

The approximately 3 km long trail is located on Falkenstrasse, leads through a forest and is equipped with information signs that provide insights into the forest habitat, including a look into the forest floor (mysterious world in the dark), peaceful hummers (wild bees and bumblebees), native mushrooms and wood or the pond source (water from the depths).

It is available to interested visitors and hikers, but is also suitable for school classes as the destination of an excursion.

In summer 2019, the nature trail was supplemented by a bee trail in the area of the herpin ponds, which provides lots of exciting information about these valuable insects on various display boards. As a small highlight, there is also an insect hotel along the way.

Starting at the Eichelkamp parking lot, the exciting circular trail can be completed in just over an hour. Information boards about wild bees and honey bees, an exciting display case and rest stops along the way make the bee nature trail a great destination for an excursion. If you book in advance, you can also take a look at the large bee colonies under the guidance of a beekeeper.
