Picking Elder-Flowers

Ji had noticed that elder bushes are in bloom right now and she had the idea to pick elder-flowers to male some syrup.

We made a bike tour towards Ladenburg whee she had noticed some bushes earlier. The road follows the old Roman road from Ladenburg to Heidelberg and an ancient mile marker is still there as a reminder of the history

We ended up with two big bags full of elder flowers with their  beautiful fragrance - they turned into a few jars full for syrup
