St. Martin Historic Village

Highlight • Historical Site

The small town of St. Martin is worth a visit at any time of year. Wine bars, vineyards and cafés line up endlessly. It is a pleasure to walk through the town and of course to stop for a drink.

The Kropsbach runs here between the old buildings before it disappears under the street and then runs through St. Martin, mostly piped.

Beautiful round with passable weather 😍 The app was right; no more rain after 11 a.m. and sun from time to time ☀

With fairly cold temperatures and partly on completely snow-covered paths, I started on Monday morning at the large hiking car park (for the) "Haus an den Fichten" - on a very varied tour:

Soo many beautiful (flowing!) fountains, some ponds, 4 interesting knight's stones, great resting places, idyllic paths along small streams (Kropsbach, Triefenbach), great places to stop off (mostly …

Looking forward to the coming spring. From the beautiful wine village of St. Martin to the "An den Fichten" hut and the St. Martin refuge. Via the PWV-Hütte Hüttenbrunnen to the Peace Monument with a great view to the Odenwald. Via the Kropsburg descent to St. Martin.

The evening before, we were recommended the forest restaurant at the Edenkoben Peace Memorial. This is how the circular tour there came about.
On wonderful hiking trails, first along the Kropsbach stream to the Sandwiesenweiher pond, where we tackle an obstacle course to admire the aurochs breeding. At the hut by the spruce trees, we treat ourselves to a beer, …

After a week's hiking break we went to St. Martin near Maikammer today. The hike starts and ends in the parking lot at the cemetery. This is subject to a fee; a day ticket costs EUR 3.00.

From the cemetery we go through the old town of St. Martin. On the way we come across the Krobsbach, which we will …

A relaxed dog walk with dear Anne and Pollux, Morpheus and Achilles in tow 😁

Without a plan, we just set off on a whim; and there were some truly beautiful paths along the way. Especially the path along the stream towards the end. Wonderful!

Auf geht’s zu einer gemütlichen Tour rund um den Hochberg bei Sankt Martin – heute zwar ohne Gipfel, trotzdem mit einigen saftigen Anstiegen. In Sankt Martin fahren wir die Totenkopfstraße bis zum Wanderparkplatz beim Haus an den Fichten (Bus: St. Martin, Stauweiher), nur um sofort in entgegengesetzter Richtung dem grün-weißen Balken  talabwärts zu folgen. Nach wenigen Metern  zweigt diese links …
