Around 40 hectares of poppy seeds were sown this year, with the pink summer poppy seeds "Miezko" in particular. The violet "Viola" and the purple winter poppy "Zeno Morphex" also found their place.
Despite the difficult weather conditions in spring, the plants were able to develop well. They are not quite as high, but they are close together and are ready to captivate the visitors.

The tourism concept in Germerode is diverse. In addition to the coffee and the poppy lighter, guests can look forward to a poppy seed cinema that gives exciting insights into the crop and its history every day. The poppy seed snail, a charming Bimmelbahn, is new this year.

On June 21, a Midsummer Night party will take place in Grandenborn, while from June 20 a film and photo exhibition will stage the magnificent poppy fields. Enjoyment hikes and whiskey hikes with tastings are also on the program. The event highlights promise not only a festival for the eyes, but also for the palate.

Mohn in agricultural context

The poppy not only has a lot to offer as a tourist highlight, it is also an important part of German agriculture. Historically speaking, sleeping poppies (papaver somniferum) is one of the oldest crops in Europe, but was severely restricted by the provisions of the Narcotics Act, as described on Mohnbluetfrauholle.land . Currently there are only three morphine varieties available that can be legally planted: "Mieszko", "Viola" and "Zeno Morphex".

In Germany, the poppy fields are not in abundance, but demand grows. Mohn could establish itself as a promising plant in nutrition. As current experiments in Lower Bavaria show, the poppy sees a remarkable adaptability to the climate and requires little precipitation. An innovative farmer from Mamming has recently planted seven hectares, which arouses great hopes, reports Br.de .

The men's harvest in the Geo-Nature Park Ms. Holle is planned for mid-August. The yield per hectare fluctuates between 500 and 1000 kg, which promises good business for regional gastronomy and bakery chains that are interested in acceptance contracts. The luxurious poppy has a lot of potential, be it in baking art, in oil pressing or as an ingredient in cosmetics and medical devices.

Visitors who want to experience the poppy blossom should therefore make their way to Germerode and Grandenborn. You not only expect a colorful landscape, but also a variety of events that make the culture and importance of the poppy seed in the region.
