Information board: Blues & Coppers

Highlight • Rest Area

The station presents typical butterflies of the Dream Loop – including the Common Blue, the Short-tailed Blue, the Red Clover Blue, the Brown Copper, the Small Copper, the Large Copper, and the Green Hairstreak. The information explains the habitat and flight times (until October in sunny meadows), distinguishing characteristics of the species, and caterpillar food plants such as vetch and alfalfa. Some species are protected – the information panel raises awareness of the importance of careful behavior in the meadows.

👉 Tip: Briefly read the species profiles and look for flower patches in the adjacent meadows – these are the best places to observe the butterflies mentioned.

👉 Tip: Take your time to read the panels – they vividly connect history, landscape, and nature.
