Highlight • Mountain Hut

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

Stone table, fox hut, noise fire, Mossau picture.
Winter has done a great job on the trail markings. There is much to do.

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.
By the way, there is no rest bench …

April 12, 2023,MD 4, Mossauer Drachenweg Saphira

1st trail marking tour this year. The roads are currently in very poor condition due to forestry work and rain.
There is not much left to remind of the quality hiking trail.

March 17, 2024,ODW: Drachenweg Saphira MD4 (👎🏼)

Today I finally went on a hike that I've been wanting to do for a while.

The official MD4 Dragon Trail 'Saphira' is designated as a quality hiking trail...

The only view was at the beginning and then it was basically 14 …

The 15 km long Mossauer Drachenweg Saphira leads around Ober-Mossau mainly through forest over the Morsberg and the Mossauer Höhe. Then to the noise fire at 501 m above sea level and the hut further on the Hoschbach-Höhenweg past …

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 😀
