オッターベルクの天然記念物・トップ20

Beautiful, well-restored castle ruins with a great view. There is also a place to stop for refreshments right at the castle.

Very nice vantage point over the Mehlinger Heide, one of the largest heath landscapes in southern Germany

It is wonderful what has been created on this former military training ground. Highly Recommended!

The Brunnenwanderweg near Kaiserslautern is up to 16 km long. There are nine wells on this path.

One of the largest heathland areas in southern Germany. During the flowering period in August and September, it is advisable not to come on the weekend as it is very crowded. If you want, you can extend the heather tour a little and make a loop in the adjacent forest, where it is very calm and cool and a nice contrast to the sunny, dry heather.

The “Mehlinger Heide” is one of the largest heathlands in southern Germany! The nature and bird sanctuary is 410 hectares in size – an XL football pitch is 1.08 hectares. Formerly a forest, the area became a military training area during the First World War, then French, German again, American and finally returned in 1994. Congratulations to those who managed to return this area to nature! By the way: The summer heather (Calluna vulgaris), which characterizes the landscape of the Mehlinger Heide, is not an Erica, but forms its own genus Calluna. However, it also belongs to the heather family. Unlike most Erica species, the local heather is summer green and blooms in late summer, this year's peak is August 20th.
