Cherry garden tree felling leads to closure of Mellrichstadt hiking trail
News Article: The Cherry Orchard Trail Closure and the Streu Valley Course
The Cherry Orchard trail, a popular hiking route in the south of Mellrichstadt, will be closed from August 4 to 8, 2025, due to the ongoing Burdoin Fire. The trail, which starts at Industrial Street and leads along the Streu to Oberstreu, has been closed indefinitely as a response to the active fire threat [1][2][4].
The closure of the trail includes access to the Streu Valley Course, but there is currently no direct information available indicating any impact on the course related to this closure. The trail closure primarily concerns the Lyle Cherry Orchard area and the Burdoin Fire region [1][2][4].
The decision to close the trail and carry out safety measures, such as the felling of certain trees, has been made with consideration for the natural environment. The felling of the ashes in The Cherry Orchard is a one-time safety measure, not a routine maintenance activity [1][2][4].
The felling of the ashes, which are characteristic of The Cherry Orchard, is being conducted as gently as possible to minimise disruption to the woodland area. However, it is expected that the felling of trees will significantly alter the appearance of The Cherry Orchard [1][2][4].
For the most accurate and up-to-date information on the trail status or the Streu Valley Course, it is recommended to consult local official websites or the managing organisations as the fire situation evolves.

- The temporary closure of the Cherry Orchard trail, a popular hiking route in Mellrichstadt, is causing concerns in the field of environmental science, as the trail leads through the Streu Valley and the closure may impact local wildlife.
- Despite the short-term closure of the Streu Valley Course due to the Cherry Orchard trail's shutdown, scientists are closely monitoring the environmental impact of the felling of ashes in the Cherry Orchard on weather patterns and the overall health of the local ecosystem.
