In the village of Pittenhart in Germany, Michael Kiessling and Helmut will welcome you to their magnificent greenhouses.

​

Beautiful surprises await lovers of rustic and temperate cacti. Many species, sown and cuttings by Michael, grow on site. He also produces his own hybrids such as an Echinocereus coccineus x apachensis that I was able to acquire. The quality of the plants and the availability   of Mr. Kiessling as well as his hospitality mean that I can only recommend going to visit them. Preferably at the beginning of June to take advantage of the blooms! 

​

Practical aspects 

• Open Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. except official holidays

• Plan 3 to 4 hours of visit on site

• Travel time of 6h30 from the Friborg region by car. Plan one night there (I recommend the Zum Schieldhauer hotel in Halfing)

• More details on the Chiemgau Kaktus website
