Events in the Unteres Odertal National Park - Fall
Thanks to its convenient location, Angermünde is the ideal starting point for exploring the vast and biodiverse Uckermark region—shaped by the Ice Age—as well as the neighboring Polish part of the Unteres Odertal on foot, by bike, or by canoe.
Every month, many exciting events take place in the Unteres Odertal National Park.
Not only are there numerous ranger-led tours with great themes, but the singing afternoons, donkey hikes, screen-printing workshops, herb and wilderness hikes, and crane-watching days are also starting up again with many new event formats.

Herbal Seminar II: Edible Roots and Fall Fruits
’ “Hidden Treasures” Seminar Series
Part II of the herb seminar is dedicated to edible roots and fall fruits, which are now in season. The roots of “wild greens” are packed with nutrients in the fall. We’ll dig up dandelions, burdock roots, and other roots and taste them—you’ll be amazed at how delicious, for example, the “ham root” (the root of the evening primrose) tastes.
We’ll gather autumn fruits and nuts that nature has in store for us this late in the year: rose hips, hawthorn berries, acorns, and beechnuts. Acorns, for example, can be used to make delicious dishes once they’ve been de-bittered.
Using the treasures we’ve gathered, we’ll prepare a delicious herbal meal that we’ll enjoy together. We’ll also share plenty of information about the health benefits of these plants.
Meeting point: 16303 Schwedt/Oder, Alt Galow district, Kanalstraße 3
