Mehlinger Heath

Highlight • Natural

The Mehlinger Heide is in full bloom in August. On sandy roads you can walk through them. But it is also worth the round to expand the eselsbach and the pond.

Been to the heath again. In a month everything will really blossom, then we will be there again. It's just worth it😍

At @Angelika &🐅(🌠) I saw so many pictures of heathland, I didn't want to drive 100 or more kilometers, then I remembered the Mehlinger Heide, albeit late.

Komoot suggested a tour that I wanted to do.

I still had 140 kilometers left in the battery, but there is a charging station very close by, so it shouldn't be a problem …

This evening atmosphere. I can really let off steam and can't get enough. This is just a fraction of my photographic output.

With the 🦆 to the Mehlinger Heide. The heather in the evening light and then the 🔨 steam noodle as a conclusion

Every year again and again and again beautiful... Unfortunately a little little evening sun but the heather is already blooming very nicely. But very nice company and delicious flammkuchen afterwards and a Dampfnudel in front 😁

A nice hike through the heather We were here for the first time, but definitely not for the last time. After the hike, we strengthened ourselves again in the Flammkuchenhütte.
It was a good day.
