Did you know why Mund saffron is more valuable than gold? And how, according to legend, it was intriguingly smuggled into Mund? The answers to these and many other fascinating questions can be found on the saffron educational path in Mund.
The starting point of the saffron educational path is the village center. From there you reach a peaceful circular route that passes through saffron fields and meadows with an impressive view of the Rhone Valley. Along the hike there are currently six stations with information boards that provide insights in German and French on the Mund saffron culture. Visitors learn, for example, why the culinary miracle saffron may only be picked and processed by hand, or who counts among its worst enemies. Information is given on history, origin, culinary use, cultivation, processing, botany and local tradition. The saffron educational path is an entertaining hiking opportunity in nature. Part of the route is wheelchair accessible!
