Nature awareness: Discover the secret world of nature!

Discover nature awareness in the Neflental

Rosa Periwinkle woke up early in the morning, even before the first rays of the sun bathed the glamour high in warm gold. She felt the gentle humming of the meadows in Neflental and took a deep breath. Today she wanted to uncover a great secret of nature - and you can be part of it.

The adventure in the Bernblütenhain begins

Rosa Periwinkle ran with quick steps to the Bernblütenhain. Golden yellow flowers bloomed everywhere, smelling of honey and summer rain. The sun painted bright patterns on the leaves and the wind whispered stories of days long gone. For Rosa Periwinkle, being aware of nature meant hearing and feeling what lived around her.

She sat down among the flowers and closed her eyes. The warm earth tickled her feet while butterflies danced in bright colours above her head. She knew that every animal, every plant and every tree in Neflental had its place and its purpose. Together they formed an invisible web that connected everything.

Glamour high - the time of solidarity

At the height of the season, the light in the Neflental valley is particularly vivid. Rivers and small lakes everywhere reflect the sunlight like dancing sparks of fire. Rosa Periwinkle ran to the water and gazed at the smooth surface. She saw dragonflies shimmering sapphire blue, while frogs croaked in the emerald green reeds.

Awareness of nature was at its strongest in these moments, because Rosa Periwinkle realised that she was part of everything: every wave, every leaf and every ray of light. On the shore, a group of children in colourful dresses had gathered around a campfire. Lanterns floated silently over the water, glowing in coral red and gold.

Amazement and mindfulness in the sea of lights

Rosa Periwinkle sat down by the fire with the others. They told stories about the animals and plants in the Neflental. One girl showed her a caterpillar nibbling quietly on a leaf. Rosa Periwinkle smiled because she knew how important the little creatures were for the balance. Then she looked up and marvelled.

The sky now glowed in a golden twilight. The lanterns floated like little stars. Rosa Periwinkle sensed how strong the connection was between her, the people, the plants and the animals. For her, being aware of nature meant being grateful for all the wonders under her nose and discovering with open eyes what normally remained hidden.

Discover the secret world of nature in the Neflental valley

Rosa Periwinkle skipped through the amber blossom grove again the next morning. She collected empty snail shells, listened to the birds calling and watched as the flowers turned their heads towards the sun. She saw how a root groped for water in the ground and how tiny beetles built a hidden city between moss and stone.

She remembered the voices around the campfire and the play of light on the water. Awareness of nature doesn't always feel the same, but it shows itself in small encounters and in wonder. Every day in the Neflental brings a new secret of nature to light.

Because if you look closely, you will discover that every flower, every stone and every river has its own story to tell. Together, they form the glowing picture of life in the Neflental. You can rediscover this secret world of nature every day - just like Rosa Immergrün.

What do we learn from this?

Nature awareness means living attentively and mindfully. It means looking, listening and feeling. The secret world of nature is waiting everywhere - in the glow of the sun, in the scent of the flowers, in the quiet buzzing of the insects. Rosa Immergrün and nature in the Neflental valley show us that those who open themselves up will find friends both large and small. Start seeing nature with different eyes!
