The Neu-Bamberger-Heide nature reserve is located in the district of Bad Kreuznach in Rhineland-Palatinate. The 9.9490 hectare area, which consists of two sub-areas and was placed under nature protection in 1968, extends south of the municipality of Neu-Bamberg. Wikipedia

Unfortunately, the area is not very large, but it is beautiful and offers a variety of scenery.
For non-biologists like me: The flowering time of the heather is in August.
