Fischau Mountains, Neue Welt 16.5.2021

Bicycle ride from Winzendorf over the "Kürassier", to flower meadows and fields , and back through the "Neue Welt"

From the road over the "Kürassier", a narrow private road branches of to the former "Finkenhaus". There, inside the steep forest, aqre two flat grassland areas. The first, smaller one is botanically interesting, bercause now the green-winged orchid (Anacamptis morio) grows - in quite an abundance.

The garden star-of-Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum) ...

 ... in abundance too.

Another pannonian rarity is the pannonian peavine (Lathyrus pannonicus)

And once more Green-winged orchid (Anacamptis morio)

The second, larger grassland area is botanically completely uninteresting, it seems to be manured frequently. With all its landscape beauty, only buttercups and grasses are growing here - a cattle food plantation.
