Mesnerbichl, Protected area in Andechs, Germany.

The Mesnerbichl reserve extends over 2.8 hectares of land, featuring dry grasslands and glacial formations between Ammersee and Starnberger See lakes.

The area received protected status in 1941 from the Reichsnaturschutzbehörde, marking it as one of Bavaria's earliest nature conservation sites.

The name Mesnerbichl derives from the local church sacristan who received this land as payment for services until the twentieth century.

Visitors can access the reserve through marked hiking trails starting from the parking area near Kloster Andechs, with a total elevation gain of 130 meters.

This location contains the only population of Narzissen-Windröschen outside the Alps in Germany, along with 17,000 specimens of swamp gladiolus.
