In this Collection, I introduce you to the 200-km (124-mile) long circular in five stages, averaging about 40 kilometres (25 miles) per day. I chose Erbach, a town in the Odenwald, as my starting point. You can easily reach the town with the Odenwald Railway from Frankfurt, for example. For timetables, see: odenwaldmobil.de (website is in German language only).
As the cycle path is well-connected to the rail network, you can easily join the route at any point along the trail. This also makes it easy to travel to and from your adventure. There’s also plenty of accommodation such as hotels, guesthouses, holiday rentals and campsites in the stage destinations.
Cycling through the Odenwald can be challenging as some stages include lots of ascents in the mountains. However, your hard work is always rewarded with unforgettable panoramic views and well-deserved descents. You’ll discover wonderful thick forests as well as romantic river valleys. You follow the River Neckar, cycling through the flat landscapes that have jumped straight from the pages of a fairytale, complete with castles towering above the river valley. You can also relax on the Main Cycle Path as you ride through unique scenery, treating yourself to a drop of wine from time to time.
Tip: The three-day 3-Länder cycling event takes place every year at the end of July/beginning of August. You can take part in the event to ride the route with over 250 fellow cyclists.
