Spring

The apple trees begin to blossom. Between the rows of trees a delicate play of white and pink colours appears, with paths leading right through them. A wonderful time for the first walks of the season.

Summer

The apple trees form a lush green blanket across the hills and valleys. When temperatures are pleasant, this is the perfect time for longer walks and hikes.

Autumn

The harvest begins. Apples are picked, crates stand between the rows and the colours gradually change from green to yellow and red.

Winter

After the harvest, the apple trees stand bare in neat rows. The landscape appears somewhat reduced, open and clear – paths and shapes become more visible.
