Wild Herb Hike: Wild Fruits & Roots

Wild herbs often grow unnoticed at the edge of paths. We encounter these valuable treasures of nature every day without realizing the enrichment they can bring to our lives. Join me on an excursion into the untouched plant world of the Waldviertel!

The wild fruits are ripe, and the first roots can be dug up. Rowan berries, rose hips, and sloes are just a few of the vitamin-rich fruits that can enhance your well-being. From the realm of wild roots, herbs like comfrey, angelica, bloodroot, and dandelion belong to the traditional medicinal plants.

Discover wild fruits and root herbs with me and learn about their processing and healing power.
