This excursion will take us to the southern part of this region, towards the village of Süderen (BE).

The goal of this excursion is to introduce the ferns and clubmosses found in the Emmental. We will have the opportunity to visit a species-rich site, which includes beautiful populations of the Remote Wood Fern (Dryopteris remota). This little-known species was previously recorded in Fribourg and Lucerne but not in the Emmental. However, since late 2023, several SwiF reports have confirmed its presence in the region, showing that D. remota is actually quite common. In addition to widespread species, we will also observe other cryptic species, such as members of the Dryopteris affinisgroup and the Northern Wood Fern (Dryopteris expansa).

Excursion in French, with German translation.
