Streuobstwiese am Schmandberg in Brakel-Bellersen

Fruit tree plantations on the Schmandberg: A large meadow orchard is the still impressive and ecologically valuable remnant of a fruit tree plantation established in 1892, which ultimately comprised 3,200 fruit trees of different varieties on an area of 272 hectares. Due to unfavourable soil conditions, the majority of the orchard had to be abandoned.
