Mehlinger Heide, Protected natural area in Mehlingen, Germany.
The Mehlinger Heide spans 399 hectares of heathland in southern Germany, featuring extensive purple heather fields and diverse plant species throughout the landscape.
The area transformed from forest to military training grounds in 1912, serving various armed forces until the 1990s when it returned to German control.
Local guides lead educational walks through designated paths, sharing knowledge about the heath ecosystem and its transformation from military grounds to nature reserve.
Visitors can join guided Sunday tours from July to September, meeting at Becker parking lot with sturdy shoes and water for the 2.5-hour walk.
The reserve contains 150 hectares of heath vegetation, establishing it as the largest heathland formation in southern Germany with an observation platform at Height 325.
