(GPX | 1.9 KB)

Start / Finish: Oberleis

Along the Oberleiserberg bee nature trail, the honey bee is presented as one of the most important beneficial animals for our ecosystem and its influence on human life is illustrated.

The following quote from Albert Einstein (1949) is probably the best illustration of how big an impact the honey bee has on our lives: "No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more people."

Route description
The following 11 informational signs and station panels line the Bee Nature Trail in the Oberleiser Berg area and provide visitors with interesting facts about bees:
- Bees are hardworking pollinators
- Honey is valuable and sweet
- The language of bees
- Bees produce more than just honey
- The life of the honeybee
- Bees & the Environment – Pollination Services
- Beeswax—As Versatile as Life Itself
- Forest Ants: As Useful as Bees

The illustrated information panels are designed to showcase the life of bees and their significant benefits to nature and agriculture. You’ll also have the opportunity to admire two beehives from the Ernstbrunn Beekeepers’ Association and get up close and personal with the bees. We invite you to visit the Oberleiserberg Bee Trail yourself and learn more fascinating details about the lives of these hardworking bees.

Recommended period

About 80 percent of all cultivated and wild plants are pollinated by honeybees; the remaining 20 percent are pollinated by bumblebees, flies, wild bee species, butterflies, and other insects. This is one of the reasons why honeybees have become an indispensable part of human life today. In 2016, the market town of Ernstbrunn therefore took a stand to support bees. Twenty-five flower strips covering a total area of 1,800 m² were created and distributed across the 13 cadastral districts.

Details and a downloadable brochure can be found on the Ernstbrunn municipal website.
