The route created on Bruttiger Berg compactly covers 300 m and addresses the life of the bee, the special features of its social life, and the development and composition of various bee products.
As part of their environmental education efforts, the Beekeepers' Association Cochem and Surroundings e.V. has set up a themed trail in cooperation with the local community of Bruttig-Fankel, providing information on beekeeping and bee products.
On six informational boards, you will certainly learn many new things about the honeybee and beekeeping activities. The themed trail is complemented by a station with wild bee nesting aids. Here, you can observe the life and breeding behaviors of various native wild bees and parasitoid wasps on site. The highlight is a so-called block hive. Here, through a glass pane—protected against stings—the hidden life of a bee colony in a tree cavity can be observed.
