"Between myth and healing: the importance of plants in the Baab Heath
Plants can exist without humans, but humans cannot exist without plants. The existence of humans depends on plants. And so there has been a connection between them since time immemorial that runs through human history.
In earlier times, plants were perceived as a divine gift and gratefully used in the form of food or as carriers of certain functions.
In particular, plants that were conspicuous in their growth and shape, flowered at unusual times or lived in unusual places attracted people's interest and were associated with magical thinking. In addition, they were often plants whose components or seeds contained pharmacologically active substances.
On a nature tour in the Baaber Heide, native magical, protective and medicinal plants are presented with their significance in the past and present.
