The parking lot for the Bergstraße-Odenwald Nature Park, located "Im Dorf," appears to be gone. We did find a parking space, but we couldn't find the sign for a hiking parking area. Perhaps we were looking in the wrong place.
The circular trail is very varied with many beautiful views. We could see Lindenfels

Our hike today took us to the Überwald. That's the name of this region of the Odenwald, and it's well worth a visit. Starting in Gras-Ellenbach, we first circled the Weihwesel hill, then stopped in Hammelbach, crossed the old quarries of Litzelbach, looped around the Hammelberg hill, and finally made

The circular trail through the woods around the Dachsberg was still quite icy or snowy today. Admittedly, caution was advised! In the middle section, there were also tracks from heavy machinery. There was mud there that clung to our shoes; however, it was easily brushed off in the snow.

Today was supposed to be a "proper" hike again. After all that snow. And the best things are often right on our doorstep!
Unfortunately, I made a mistake and accidentally pressed "End" at the beginning of the second half (after the break). So, here's the second part of today's hike.
It was a beautiful

Today we had plenty of sunshine ☀️ from a clear, azure sky, once again completely cloudless. We chose a walking path on Heiligenberg. The circular route from Nonnenbrunnen National Park is marked with the yellow number 1, but we were confused below the monastery ruins, just behind the castle pond, because

The nature trail begins—as it later turned out—at the train station. But finding a parking spot on the main road wasn't a problem either. I wanted to mention that upfront.
Today's hike, under a milky, hazy sky and with its almost spring-like weather, was very well timed. Firstly, because we've just had
