Katzenbuckel

The panoramic view from the top is awesome

Awesome view from the highest point of the Odenwald

Although the weather was not ideal, the view from the tower was impressive

Great view and highest located tower in the Odenwald

The magnificent view over the Odenwald is just always worth the way back here.

Magnificent panoramic view from the highest point of the Odenwald.
In addition to the tower, there are also some picnic options on rest benches (new or optionally moss-covered). There are some interesting rocks not far from the tower.

Was also possible in winter.

Ideal panoramic view from the tower above

Highest elevation of the Odenwald. From here you have a wonderful view over the hills of the Odenwald

The Katzenbuckelturm
... and the phenomenon of the magnetic summit rocks

Don't forget the compass when hiking the cat's hump; on the summit rocks you can observe an amazing phenomenon. "Some claim that a deviation of the magnetic needle on the cat's hump has already been observed. But this seems to be based on a mistake," believed Albert Ludwig Grimm at the time. But it is not a mistake! Lightning has produced a significant magnetic deviation on the magnetite-containing summit rocks. Give it a try yourself ...

Well-preserved tower that can be climbed. The climb is quite narrow, with some viewing windows. Above a beautiful panoramic view of the Odenwald. Enough space for several people.

The view from the tower is just worth seeing

Not to climb the tower is a NO GO

Indescribably beautiful ... you look at the Königsstuhl from above ...

Great view over the Odenwald

a very nice hiking trail slightly challenging

Great view from the highest point in the Odenwald. Climbing the tower is worthwhile even if the spiral staircase is narrow and dark in some places. It is recommended to have a flashlight or cell phone with you.

Every stage is worth the view.

almost 90 steps up (hopefully without oncoming traffic) and you have a great all-round view👍

With its 626 m, the Katzenbuckel is the highest elevation in the Odenwald. It is an extinct volcano. It is located between Eberbach am Neckar and Waldbrunn in Baden-Württemberg. From its 20 m high observation tower you have a wonderful view over the Odenwald to the Neckar

Nice view from up there!

Very amazing how far you can see in clear weather ...

From up here you really have a magnificent view of the Odenwald. It's also nice to see how the landscape changes, depending on which direction you look. Ascent is narrow, space for several people at the top.
