More and more crocuses are blooming every day. Now the first days are coming when a visit will be really worthwhile.

The weekend and the start of the new week should be a little rainy, but from the middle of next week the crocus blossom should really start.

Please use the central signposted parking lot in the center of the crocus meadows. The "Krokusschleife" hiking trail is easy to find from the parking lot and is the best way to hike to the most beautiful crocus meadows!
