Buchecker & Co.: Discover Bielefeld's Autumn World on a Herb Walk

Buchecker & Co.: Autumn Herb Walk in Bielefeld-Gadderbaum

When autumn reveals its treasures, the herb walk Buchecker & Co. invites you to a two-hour discovery experience around the wild plants of the region. On Saturday, October 24, 2026, Heike Dreppenstedt will guide you through the nature-friendly landscapes of Bielefeld-Gadderbaum, making edible and traditional medicinal plants experienceable with all senses.

Discovering Wild Plants and Safe Identification

The focus is on the fruits of autumn: beech mast, rose hips, hazelnuts, as well as wild apples and wild pears. The tour combines botanical knowledge with local natural history and shows the significance of wild fruits for nutrition, storage, and traditional remedies in the past. Beech mast was once even used for pig fattening and for the production of cooking oil.

Through Forests, Meadows, and the Landscape at Köckerhof

The approximately two-hour herb walk leads along the old Jöllenbecker Straße through the Köckerwald and over fields and meadows back to the organic farm. This creates a varied nature experience between forest edges, autumn leaves, and open landscapes. The guide directs attention to characteristic wild plants and imparts practical knowledge about the plant world in the Teutoburg Forest region.

Knowledge to Take Home

Each participant receives a script with the most important medicinal plants presented. This way, the cultural enrichment of the outdoor city tour can be deepened even after the walk. The event is suitable for nature-interested visitors, locals, and anyone who wants to get to know Bielefeld beyond classic sights.

Well Prepared on the Go

The meeting point is at Haller Weg at the terminus Schildhof of bus line 29 in Gadderbaum. The participation fee is 15 euros and includes the script. Registration through Heike Dreppenstedt at 0521/140731 is recommended preferably three days before the date. The number of participants is limited; participation is at your own risk.
