The Mehlbach Pond is a beautifully situated forest lake that can be circumnavigated on foot. It's a legally protected biotope, bordered by mixed forest on one side and coniferous forest on the other. The Mehlbach Pond is a so-called still body of water, meaning it's an artificially created body of water with no flow velocity.

A very idyllic pond and for me the highlight of the HeinzemammTour.

The Mehlbacher Teich is one of the legally protected biotopes and is surrounded by a mixed forest on one side and a coniferous forest on the other. There are temporary bodies of water and ponds around it, which are also considered legally protected habitats. Hornets also find a place to live here in hanging hornet boxes. The settlement of rapidly spreading non-native plants, so-called neophytes, is often problematic for still waters. This is also the case at Mehlbacher Teich: the rapidly growing Japanese knotweed, introduced as an ornamental plant, crowds out other plants and thus endangers the ecological balance.
