May 28, 2024,ODW: Fränk. Crumbach (S2: Burgruine Rodenstein - Fallbach Wasserfall - 12 Apostel)

Despite the fact that I have hiked in this area so many times, I have not yet walked the quality hiking trail S2. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it does not have much to offer. The absolute highlight at the beginning is the Rodenstein castle ruins, which you have almost to yourself on a weekday. After that, however, it goes on …

May 9, 2024,Runde S2 ab Fränk. Crumbach - Burg Rodenstein - Fallbach Wasserfall - 12 Apostel

Beautiful tour with some great highlights such as Rodenstein Castle and the small waterfall, well marked. At the end we recommend a visit to Café Ripper in Fränkisch-Crumbach with great cakes and tarts. There is little shade in the last third, so it might be a bit strenuous if the weather is too hot and sunny.

June 11, 2025,🏰 Burg-Rodenstein-Runde (Odenwald)

A challenging 17-km circular hiking trail from Fränkisch-Crumbach with beautiful views and many cultural and historical highlights.

On this varied hike, we encounter a wide variety of impressions.

Magnificent views from the Dornberg, the Schreckkopf, and the "12 Apostles" make our hearts race. Things get exciting at the almost 800-year-old Rodenstein Castle ruins. It is said that this is where …

November 13, 2022,ODW | Runde zwischen Freiheit, Fränkisch-Crumbach und Nonrod

Actually, a tour in the nearby Kraichgau was planned today. After the third day of dense fog and after the promised sunshine was still a long time coming this morning, while the weather app was already indicating sun east of the Bergstrasse, the plan was changed at short notice.
The prospect of blue skies was too tempting and the lap …

June 16, 2022,Fränkisch-Crumbach - Burg-Rodenstein-Runde - Geocaching 16.06.22

To prepare for the upcoming hike in the Alps, we went to Fränkisch-Crumbach today. In the best weather, we were able to do most of the tour and refresh ourselves with cool drinks at the Röder hut. There were some sights to be admired, such as the Rodstein castle ruins, a smaller waterfall and the Wildweibchenstein. In addition to beautiful …

August 12, 2023,Abgekürzte Runde Fränkisch Crumbach 💧💧

Not really trusting the weather, hiking today with a guide.
In the most beautiful sunshine we start in Franconian Crumbach. The first km on panoramic paths up into the forest with wonderful views again and again. Then in the forest, today mostly on comfortable paths to the rest area 12 Apostel. There is a lot of hustle and bustle there, …
