The reason for this is probably related to the work in the area. For centuries, the hill in question has been covered with only grass and ferns.
Soil disturbed

Besides a beautiful sight and an insight into the resilience of nature, the wild flower sea provides the managers something else: confirmation that the choice for a forest area is historically the right one. The presence of the seed bulbs means that the hilltop was always forested in ancient times. Wild hyacinths are only found in old forests.
