Nature adventure: Become a nature-conscious hero!

Nature adventure in the Neflental: a day to be a hero

In Neflental, the adventure begins every day right on the doorstep. You can feel the power of nature, especially in the fern meadows of Immergrün. The meadows are lush green, covered with giant bracken ferns that rustle in the summer wind like a calm sea. Hidden among the tall ferns are small wooden houses with woven walls. The roofs are as colourful as flower meadows and herbs grow everywhere. Meadow gnomes run barefoot through the warm grass and keep an eye on the goats and chickens in the enclosures. At this special time of year, everything glows in ivory, May green, sky blue and gold.

Pink evergreen and the mysterious twittering

One bright morning, Rosa Periwinkle heard a loud chirping from afar. She followed the sound across the fern meadows and finally reached the nightingale path. There, among the blossoming hawthorn bushes, the nightingales were singing their most beautiful song. The twittering floated through the air as if magic were dancing on the wind. The sounds were so beautiful that even the goats stood still in amazement.

Rosa Periwinkle ran on full of curiosity, because a real adventure often waits just around the next corner. At the edge of the path, she spotted a group of young meadow gnomes. They looked worried and beckoned to Rosa Periwinkle.

Danger at the edge of the fern meadows

"Our little friends, the meadow hedgehogs, have disappeared!" cried one of the gnomes. "We used to meet them every morning at breakfast. But they haven't turned up today." Rosa Periwinkle pondered: perhaps something had happened in nature that had put the hedgehogs in danger.

Rosa Periwinkle set off together with the other gnome children. They ran across the meadows, followed the tracks and came to a place where torn ferns and small paw prints could be seen in the moss.

Strong together: Neflental helps its friends

They all looked around with watchful eyes. They discovered an old net that had become entangled in the ferns. A storm must have blown it into the valley. The hedgehogs were stuck in it! They squeaked softly because they couldn't free themselves.

Without hesitation, Rosa Immergrün helped immediately. The children carefully pulled the net and untied the knots. Little by little, the little hedgehogs crawled out free. Fortunately, they were not injured. Everyone was overjoyed, because every life saved is a heroic deed in Neflental.

Nature awareness makes heroes

Rosa Periwinkle knew that they had to protect nature together. She spoke to her friends: "If we look after our animals and plants, we will be real heroes for the Neflental." They collected the net so that no one could fall into it again.

At the end of the day, everyone returned to the village full of pride. The hedgehogs munched contentedly on a large mountain of fallen fruit. The gold of the evening sun shimmered above the roofs of the wooden houses. And the nightingales sang their song, because someone in the Neflental valley is always looking after nature.

What do we learn from this?

In Neflental, Rosa Immergrün shows us how important it is to look after the animals and plants. If we are attentive and stick together, we can become real heroes. Nature needs friends to protect it. Every day in the fern meadows is full of adventure if we walk through the world with open eyes.
