Summer Herb Abundance on the Oim: An Alpine Herb Hike full of fragrance, knowledge, and a wide view
This guided alpine herb hike in Bernau am Chiemsee combines nature experience, local history, and living tradition in a particularly beautiful way. On Friday, July 10, 2026, the tour runs from 10:00 am to approximately 4:00 pm, leading up to Herrenalm and opening the view to the mountain and meadow plant world of the Chiemgau.
On Scenic Paths to Herrenalm
The path begins at the parking lot at the mini-golf course on Rottauer Street 5 and leads through a landscape that impressively conveys the character of the Chiemsee Alpine region. Along the way, nature and hiking guide Martina Glatt tells about medicinal herbs, wild vegetables, and the connection between alpine farming, meadow edges, and traditional plant use.
Herb Knowledge to Touch
Plantain, lady's mantle, good Heinrich, and Aufgentrost exemplify the knowledge that comes alive on this guided mountain tour. Participants will learn which plants were collected, processed, and valued in the past, and why they continue to be part of the cultural heritage of the region. This creates an authentic discovery experience that connects nature observation and local studies.
