When a dark-haired woman stands in a meadow in the Altmühltal surrounded by a troop of curious walkers, all putting leaves in their mouths and chewing on roots, you can be sure of one thing: Dagmar von der Grün is organising another one of her popular herbal walking trails. “I do this because I want to show people what treasures nature keeps in store for us,” says the native Franconian. “The great outdoors offers an incredible diversity of wild plants and herbs, which can be used in many different ways in the kitchen.”
