Waldheide, Natural glade in Heilbronn, Germany
The Waldheide spans 52 hectares of open space surrounded by oak-rich deciduous forests on sandstone terrain in eastern Heilbronn.
The area served as a US Army missile base for Pershing II missiles after World War II until 1990, when military operations ceased.
The glade functions as a recreation area where residents participate in outdoor activities while sheep grazing maintains the natural meadow state.
Visitors can access the glade via the A6 or A81 highways, with the nearest exit at Weinsberg junction, located 3 kilometers east of Heilbronn center.
In 1994, the northern section of 4.5 hectares received natural monument status to protect rare heath vegetation and endangered yellow-bellied toads.
