Fox Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Great located hut and as Dieter writes beautifully, in a great landscape.

September 16, 2023,Drachenweg Saphira/Odw.
Today we were back in the Odenwald - in Mossau on the Saphira Dragon Trail (marker MD 4). There isn't that much to report: narrow paths in the forest, wide gravelled forest paths, rutted forest paths, asphalted cycle paths, lots of forest and finally about 2 kilometers through the still astonishing heat.

From Ober-Mossau follow the MD4 sign on the Saphira dragon trail - a few relaxing hours on an easy-to-walk path, past several Geopark points, through a cool, foggy forest with a somewhat blue sky above the Mossauerhöhe. The main thing is outside because it's just good for you 😀
