Guided Herb Hikes

on the trail of nature's secrets

The fragrance of dried hay in your nose, the buzzing of busy bees in your ear and your eyes roaming across a colorful flower-strewn meadow: A herb hike up the Mühlberg in Waging, with its picturesque lake panorama, is certain to awaken the joy of discovery in all nature lovers. Geli Egger, who is a certified practitioner of Traditional European Healing, takes locals and guests with her on a herb hike along an idyllic pathway leading to a pilgrimage church. A genuine adventure here in Upper Bavaria!

The buds of the Indian touch-me-not, which will later turn pink when in full bloom, taste wonderfully nutty. What a shame that so many gardeners look at it as just another useless weed. As for ribwort, well, Geli Egger will be happy to share with you what she has learned from many years of experience around herbs: “It is essentially a wonderful natural plaster you can apply to midge bites or blisters on your feet.”

With its yellow petals, the avens stands out from the bushy green foliage. Expert herbalists are well aware of the benefits of its tannins and bitters in combating diarrhea and skin problems.

While enjoying a break at the pilgrimage church, whose treasure trove of votive tablets attest to the healing power of prayer, your eyes can roam quietly across the gentle hillsides adjacent to the lake. You will then continue through deciduous forests and wetlands next to a stream, where spotted lungwort will also give you an opportunity to catch your breath during this herb hike.

As a highlight, our avid herb collectors will stop off at Landhaus Tanner, where they will make a delicious spread out of wild marjoram, yarrow, ground elder, red clover, ground ivy (and other natural treasures) as well as butter. Only to be surpassed by an aromatic herbal soup ladled out by the master cook himself, for a perfect conclusion to this unforgettable herb hike.
