View of the Fahner Höhe

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the paths around Gierstädt, you'll always have fantastic views over the Fahner Höhe. Especially in spring, when the fruit trees bloom, the entire region transforms into a sea of white and pink blossoms. In summer and autumn, you can look out over lush orchards and colorful fields.

Cherry Orchard

Highlight • Natural

April, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, is the best time to walk along here. You don't have to be too scared, because the different types of cherries ripen at different times, so the blossoming period is correspondingly long. If you're not afraid of the crowds at harvest time, then you'll still find a good time to snack yourself. 😉

Obstpark Gierstädt

Highlight • Natural

Equipped with a picking bucket and a map, you can pick your own apples and cherries, depending on the season, and receive expert advice. At the end, the apples are weighed—and you take home your very own harvest basket. It doesn't get any fresher than this!
