Beautiful landscape between old fruit trees and meadows. A Nabu information board provides information about native wild bees.

Final rest in the restaurant "to the green lake corner", throughout warm kitchen and coffee and cake. We recommend.

Over the years, an old quarry has been transformed into a sprawling gem. The flora and fauna are beautiful.

The Gailenberg is the highest elevation (130 m above sea level) in the Hessian city of Mühlheim am Main, east of the Lämmerspiel district and southeast of the Dietesheim district. It is an area of approx. 1.5 km², which is mostly overgrown with fruit trees - primarily apple trees.
A small amount of arable farming is still practiced.
For a number of years now, an interest group has been operating a vineyard with 99 vines of the "Weißer Burgunder" grape variety.

The nature reserve with its many possibilities offers nature-loving people a varied landscape of mixed forests, meadow orchards and old quarries, which invite you to linger as lakes and ponds. We also recommend the garden restaurant at Grünen See Eck-, where physical well-being is also taken care of.

It is a beautiful nature reserve, there are orchards, wine is grown in two places and grain also thrives here, great.
