spring in and around the Schönbuch forest 2020-04-15

spring in and around the Schönbuch forest

The forest turns green—while the beeches are about to open their buds or just have opened them in the previous days, birches already have their leaves; wild cherries are in full bloom and—especially in the evenings—spread their sweet fragrance, and so do most of the fruit trees around the forest; rapeseed fields have also started to flower—that´s how to briefly summarize the current progress of spring here.

Here I want to share a couple of impressions of a late afternoon cycling tour through the southeastern part of the Schönbuch forest. Let´s start with another set of images of the tracks through the light-flooded spring forest:
