An Excursion for All Senses
The tour takes participants to a landscape where wild herbs, near-natural plantings, and Ruhr Valley flair are closely intertwined. In the nature garden of the Biological Station, native herbs, edible plants, medicinal plants, and insect- and bird-friendly perennials and shrubs grow. On the way there, guests learn about additional wild herbs along the museum railway line and the Ruhr Valley bike path. Feel, sniff, try: this direct encounter with nature brings the event experience to life.

Knowledge That Becomes Visible Outdoors Immediately
The course is clearly designed as a guided excursion and is aimed at those who want not just to see nature but to understand it. The focus is on near-natural garden structures, native biodiversity, and the question of how wild herbs can be recognized and used in everyday life. This format particularly appeals to nature-interested adults who are looking for a compact, professionally grounded leisure offer.

The Place: Green, Calm, and Full of Ruhr Area Character
The meeting point is located at the edge of a historically shaped area in Witten, near the Nachtigall coal mine and the Muttental. The surroundings are a strong part of the ambiance: the nature garden, industrial history, and Ruhr Valley path meet here, giving the tour a special atmosphere. The LWL Museum Zeche Nachtigall describes the location as the entrance to the idyllic Muttental; here, Ruhr mining began more than 300 years ago.
