March 6, 2022,Wildpark-Weg Brudergrund Runde bei Erbach
When the weather was very nice, we were on the culture and adventure trail near Erbach in the Odenwald.
The varied circular hike leads through the romantic Brudergrund with its wildlife park, up to the Mossauerhöhe, then on to the Sophienhöhe and back through the old town of Erbach 👌🌟🌟

Erbach is a lovely little town.
The paths through the forest are easy to walk even after weeks of rain.
A very beautiful area.
The FREE Brudergrund Wildlife Park was another highlight at the end of the day. Great for kids.

We walked from the Erbach train station to the "Not Gottes". Then through the Brudergrund wildlife park in the direction of Roßbach. Over meadows and fields went up to the Mossauerhöhe. Via the Galgenberg you then come to the Silberbrünnchen, Sophien Tempel and Sophienhöhe

Today we went straight from the hotel towards Wildpark Brudergrund. It costs nothing and we didn't see any animals at first. But later we saw a few, unfortunately no mouflons. There are some signs and benches next to the wildlife park. There is a lot of information about flora and fauna on the signs. Besides, we had beautiful rapeseed fields, …

In the beginning light drizzle we went up to the wildlife park where the sun was already waiting for us.
Further up out of the forest, the specified tour led us into a dead end. At the end, the official hiking trail was integrated into a horse paddock. Really great. So we had to turn around and look for a …

Actually, yesterday we wanted to go to the Black Forest with my girlfriend, her husband and their dog, but unfortunately she had to cancel for health reasons.
So we went to Erbach yesterday and had a nice day there.
Of course, by coincidence 😂😂 another wildlife park 🦌🦌🦌🦌 was there. Besides dogs, I'm also an absolute deer 🦌 fan …

When we realized a few days ago that we hadn't been to the Brudergrund in ages, our goal was clear.
Parking: Sportpark Erbach
Down to the market place with a detour to the bakery, then on the Brudergrundweg. The Brudergrund is a small wildlife park (a popular destination when I was a child). In addition to the game reserve, there …

On this beautiful summer day we were drawn back to our "old home". About the brother reason to Rossbach and from there to the Mossauer height. I haven't been to the Brudergrund for at least 10 years, which is a pity. A highlight: the chapel or open-air church with the old tombstones and the silvery glittering brook. I recommend the …
