Between Bonsig and Zietschkuppe, peonies bloom from May to June. Some perennial peonies may bloom as early as early May. In cooler locations, the flowers open from late May to early June and then bloom well into June.

The nearly 6 km circular hiking trail leads through the beautiful beech forest of the Tautenburger Forest and can be combined with the Planet Trail. It's also accessible by bike, of course.
