About us

This group is aimed at the people in Leipzig who want to learn more about the beautiful nature around us and connect with like-minded people. The events will mostly take place in English and outdoors. We'll learn about common species of plants and fungi that grow in the vast Leipziger Auwald and surroundings. I also encourage people to connect with nature with all their senses and find grounding during our walks. My life philosophy is: we are part of nature; not an antagonist to it.

The Auwald Up Close: A Guided Wild Plant Walk
Sun, Jun 28 · 10:00 AM CEST
Connewitzer Kreuz (Leipzig), Leipzig, DE
Have you ever walked through the forest and wondered what might be the name of all of those plants?

Join us for a relaxed guided walk through Leipzig's beautiful floodplain forest, where we'll slow down and get to know 10 of the most common herbaceous plants you'll find here in June. We'll look at how to identify them, what makes each one unique, and — just as importantly — how to tell them apart from potentially dangerous lookalikes.

This walk is about building a relationship with the forest around you. No prior knowledge needed, just curiosity and comfortable shoes.

What to expect:
— A gentle 4-5 km walk lasting around 2,5 hours
— Up-close introductions to 10 wild plant species
— Stories, identification tips, and a few surprises
— Conducted in English

This walk is donation-based. A suggested contribution of €10–20 is warmly appreciated but never required. Everyone is welcome regardless of budget. Bring a friend!
Please wear comfortable clothes and bring water. We'll meet at Connewitzer Kreuz and I'll be there 10 minutes early.
