Korlingen Bee Nature Trail

On the bee nature trail above the village of Korlingen, a rotating display panel and several small sign stations provide all the important information on the topic of “bees.” In addition, insect hotels have been installed at several locations. Special highlights include two real beehives at the end of the trail, as well as the bee feeder. This is a converted, old gum ball machine that contains capsules filled with wildflower seeds. Here, you can purchase a capsule at cost and scatter the seeds in the adjacent, plowed field.

Hikers and visitors will find an in-ground cooler with non-alcoholic beverages at a scenic rest area; these can be taken in exchange for a donation from April 1 through October 31. This is a beverage cooler sunk into the ground that uses the earth’s natural coolness. Without any electricity, drinks stay pleasantly cool. With a simple hand movement, the bottle holder slides up—conveniently and with minimal effort.
