Usage Note
Waldhimbeere (Rubus idaeus) is the wild form of the raspberry, growing along forest edges, clearings and roadsides. Smaller and more intensely flavoured than cultivated varieties, it is a classic summer treat when hiking in German forests. Himbeere alone can refer to either wild or cultivated raspberries.
Examples
"Auf unserer Wanderung haben wir am Waldrand frische Waldhimbeeren gepflückt und gegessen."
