About event
The sun's rays become gentler and autumn appears in wonderful colors. Nature is retreating and the roots now contain their collective strength. The wild fruits of hawthorn, wild rose, rowan, blackthorn and elderberry are not only beautiful to look at, they also provide us with their healing powers.
What ensured our ancestors' survival is something we value today as an enrichment for the kitchen and medicine cabinet. Wild fruits are excellent suppliers of vitamins, minerals, tannins, fruit acids and pectins. Rose hips contain 20 times more vitamin C than lemons and rose hip powder helps us achieve a comfortable weight.
Sea buckthorn strengthens the immune system and stimulates metabolism. The beta-carotene contained in the berries, which gives sea buckthorn its beautiful color, ensures good eyesight and strengthens the skin's natural protective function. The roots of dandelion and chicory strengthen our immune system and help with exhaustion. Comfrey is used for broken bones and sprains, relieves pain and ensures rapid healing. But connoisseurs are also catered for; e.g. with an aromatic liqueur made from wild fruits and a delicious elderberry jelly.
Our path takes us away from cultivated meadows towards the forest. We discover, collect and taste our autumn treasures. We dig for healing roots, explore their various possible uses and enjoy with all our senses.
After the hike, many recipes, ointments and tinctures will be put into practice in the Viennese herb factory.
I look forward to meeting people and immersing themselves in nature together.
We will produce these products:
- Hawthorn wine / liqueur - strengthens the heart and circulation
- Rosehip powder - to strengthen the immune system and burn fat
- Comfrey tincture - for bruises and sprains
