素晴らしい歴史的な旧市街

a very beautiful hiking trail

The shelter and quarry are very nice.

Here you can take a break and relax.

There are only a few places from which you can get a good view of the castle in Babenhausen.

A bit far away for close-up photos, but definitely a beautiful route with great views. Very quiet!

Babenhausen Castle originated from a medieval moated castle and served successively as the residence and administrative center of the Lords of Hagen-Münzenberg, the Lords of Hanau, the Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg, and the House of Hesse. Founded around 1200 by the Lords of Hagen-Münzenberg, the castle served as an administrative and military center for the villages surrounding the emerging town of Babenhausen. Since 1981, the castle has been in private hands and is currently being renovated. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Babenhausen_(Hessen)

The café on the central village square offers coffee and cake, as well as small snacks to take away or enjoy on site. If you take the small road leading east out of the village, you'll pass something on the right that seems to have fallen out of time: an old, disused ski lift is slowly approaching its disrepair. Anyone from around here (like me 🤭) knows that there used to be a ski resort here, and even a ski club. Back then, Neunkirchen was almost like the St. Moritz of the Odenwald. It was a long time ago...
