Blooming meadows are crucial to humans and animals. The “Bienen- und Wimmelweide” at Ölmühle Michelau in Rudersberg offers a safe zone for bees, bugs and other insects where children and adults get to connect with nature during a fun day out. The meadow can easily be reached via Wieslauftalbahn („Wiesel“), a little tram going from Schorndorf to Welzheim. Admission is free; the meadow is freely accessible.
