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.

The Heideerlebnispfad also runs directly on the A63.
It is a bit louder on this side, but there are also stations such as "Types of wood", "Discover the scents of nature" or benches and a shelter.
