Are our meadows and pastures at risk from climate change? How does climate change affect the seasonal rhythms of nature and how can animals and plants adapt to the changes? And what does all of this actually mean for us humans? How does agriculture affect the climate and are cows really “climate killers”? The circular route offers a journey of discovery in the nature park, where the connections between grassland farming and climate change become visible. There are local and immigrant winners and losers from climate change and you learn how people and nature adapt and what everyone can do to protect the climate.
Everyone can gain experience for themselves at four stations: listen to climate change, determine the current season based on the plants in the phenological garden, try out a small land art project with the bumblebee and sand or see the landscape through the eyes of various actors such as farmers or tourists.
