Kräuterkurse bei Waldsamkeit

Those who explore Berlin’s green spaces with Waldsamkeit return with a full notebook, profound knowledge, and homemade herb butter: Waldsamkeit offers herb courses in Berlin that combine theory and practice: three- or six-hour herb walks lead through various Berlin natural areas such as Grunewald, Wuhlheide, Volkspark Rehberge, Jungfernheide, or along the Mauerweg in Rosenthal. In small groups of a maximum of 12 people, you learn to identify edible and medicinal wild plants, apply them safely – and even enjoy them. All of this is taught by a team with a scientific background, which pays attention to current studies as well as practical applications.

What can I expect from an herb walk?

At the herb course provider Waldsamkeit, you can choose between a three-hour and a six-hour package: In an approximately three-hour herb walk, up to 20 wild plants are introduced – from plantain to ground elder. The guides explain how to distinguish edible from inedible species, which active ingredients are contained, and how you can use the plants. There’s a lot of asking, showing, and discovering together. The six-hour herb walk goes in-depth: Across meadows, through forests and wetlands, you get to know various habitats. Along the way, you’ll have a picnic together – with wild herb butter and bread. This format offers more time for discussions, backgrounds, and applications; ecological contexts are also highlighted. At the end of the tour, participants chop, mortar, and taste. Participants make their own herb butter and taste it together – including vegan and gluten-free options. Thus, what is learned becomes a sensually experienceable nature experience.

Where and when does an herb walk take place?

Starting points include Grunewald, Volkspark Rehberge, Jungfernheide, Wuhlheide, Rosenthal Nord, or S-Bahn Neuenhagen. The three-hour walk usually starts at 13:00, the six-hour walk at 11:00. All dates are available on the Waldsamkeit website. Early registration is recommended!
