What Is a Herbal Walk?
A herbal walk is a guided tour through nature, introducing you to the world of wild herbs. Under the guidance of an expert, you'll be shown the most important plants and learn how to identify and collect them correctly. On a wild herb walk, you'll also get practical tips on how to use the plants in the kitchen or as medicinal plants. Some tours also offer the chance to attend a cooking class right after the hike, turning your freshly picked greens into delicious dishes. A herb walk combined with a cooking class is particularly popular, since you not only learn to identify wild herbs but also put that knowledge straight to use.
When Is the Best Time for a Herbal Walk?
Spring and summer are ideal, as many wild herb walks offer the greatest variety of fresh, edible herbs during these months. The first wild herbs, such as wild garlic, ground elder or dandelion, sprout in spring, while flowering medicinal plants such as St John's wort or yarrow can be found in summer. A guided herbal walk near you is also worthwhile in autumn, when roots and seeds can be collected.
What Do Wild Herbs Do for the Body?
Wild herbs are rich in valuable nutrients, vitamins and secondary plant compounds that support the body naturally. Many edible herbs have anti-inflammatory, digestive and detoxifying effects. Nettle, for example, strengthens the immune system, while ground elder is considered a natural remedy for rheumatism. A wild herb walk offers the chance to get to know these healthy plants and learn how they can be used in teas, salves or dishes.

For a successful herbal walk, it's worth being well-prepared. Here are a few things you should bring:
- Comfortable, weatherproof clothing
- Sturdy shoes
- A notebook or app to help identify plants
- A basket or cloth bag for collecting herbs
- A small pair of scissors or a knife to cut the plants
- Sun and insect protection (depending on the season)
- Water and snacks for on the go
