Snail Shells

Snails are abundant in our area of Germany. They can be found all over the trails in May through the summer months after a rain. (We rarely see worms.) They range in size from about 1/2 inch to 3 inches.

The kids love watching the snails and collecting the shells.

The shells can be found on the ground near the base of trees and bushes in the early spring.
