This is where the Nibelungensteig starts. This is a 130 km long quality and main hiking trail of the Odenwald Club in the Odenwald - in Hesse, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. The trail leads over heights and through valleys of the Odenwald from Zwingenberg on the mountain road to Freudenberg am Main.

Starting point of the Nibelungensteig. We recommend a look at the historic old town beforehand.
