The broad-leaved marsh orchid, also known as broad-leaved fingerwort, is an orchid species still occasionally found in unfertilized wet meadows. The genus name Dactylorhiza derives from its finger-like root tubers. The species epithet majalis refers to the flowering month of May. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breitbl%C3%A4ttriges_Knabenkraut

In the stream valley, you can find rare flora and fauna, including orchids. The Dorche, a river, rises near Schwerzko and flows into the Großer Kahntopfen, where you can find marsh glosswort, a species of orchid. The Schwerzko Mill is a popular destination for hikes along the Dorche, and the Dorche itself provides an ideal environment for flowering orchids and other rare species, such as the kingfisher and the beaver. To preserve the orchids, which benefit from the shade provided by young trees, the measure "Omission or restriction of watercourse maintenance measures" is planned.
