Mehliger Heath

The Mehlinger Heide, also known as the "largest heathland in southern Germany," is located just a few kilometers east of Kaiserslautern and is a true natural gem. It delights visitors with its expansive, purple-blooming heathland, bizarre pines, sandy paths, and impressive wide-open spaces – perfect for anyone who loves nature and wants to enrich their convertible tour in Rhineland-Palatinate with an extraordinary stop.

Unique heath landscape with a special character

The Mehlinger Heide was created on a former military training ground and has been intentionally re-natured. Today, it is an ecologically valuable area with rare plant and animal species. Especially during the flowering season in late summer, the landscape shows itself in its most beautiful light – the heath plants glow in vibrant violet, accompanied by the lush green of junipers and pines. Even outside of the flowering period, a walk along the numerous hiking trails and wooden paths that lead through the area is worthwhile.

As a stopover on a convertible route through the Palatinate, the Mehlinger Heide is ideal – tranquil, picturesque, and with its own unique flair. From here, there is a fantastic view over the surrounding area, and on clear days, the sight extends all the way to the Haardt at the edge of the Palatinate Forest.

Varied drive to the heath

The approach to the Mehlinger Heide offers pure driving enjoyment. Gentle hills, wooded sections, and small villages provide a varied convertible route. A route that leads through the Zellertal or along the German Wine Route is particularly rewarding – perfect conditions for a relaxed convertible tour with views and enjoyment.

Those who are traveling for a longer time can wonderfully integrate the Mehlinger Heide into a convertible journey through the Palatinate or use it as a starting point for a convertible road trip through the Palatinate Highlands and the Northern Vosges.

Nature experience and tranquility in the open air

The Mehlinger Heide not only offers an impressive landscape, but also tranquility and deceleration. Far away from the hustle and bustle, it invites visitors to breathe deeply, relax, and enjoy the nature experience in the open air – a perfect contrast to the dynamic drive in a convertible.
