Katzenpfad Trail

Highlight • Trail

The steep Katzenpfad (Cat Trail) at Katzenbuckel is a challenging hiking route in the Odenwald Forest, challenging due to its gradient and length. The trail leads through dense forests and offers spectacular views of the surrounding area.

Freya hut and spring - highest spring in the Odenwald

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A nice, large site with plenty of seating. There's a barbecue area, although there's a sign prohibiting barbecues. The site offers little shade, and there are also toilet cabins, but they're not always accessible.
