Description

The challenging 16km hike takes you past five elevations of the Odenwald at over 500m. The reward for the efforts are beautiful panoramic views.

The hike lets you experience nature and the landscape on the"roof of the Odenwald\\\". From the Hohberg with an altitude of 531 m, the path leads around the Waldskopf with an altitude of 538 m. Then it goes past the"Teufelsstein\\\". This rock formation is notable for a layer of quartz crystal, which wraps around the rock like a belt. According to popular tradition, the devil was chained to this stone, other interpretations make the rock as a pre-Christian place of worship (offering table). But the appearance of the Teufelsstein is more likely the result of geological transformations and weathering processes that have lasted millions of years.

Also interesting is the Götzenstein, which you reach after crossing the village of Löhrbach. The 522 m high mountain peak with the mighty granite blocks is said to have been a Celtic place of worship. From Götzenstein you quickly reach the edge of the forest, with a beautiful view of Löhrbach to the Rhine plain. The source of Steinbach is located on the Art Trail, which gave the towns Ober-Absteinbach and Unter-Abtsteinach (first documented mention in 1012) and the valley their names. There are numerous works of art to admire on the Art Walk. In addition, the plateau offers a unique view. Am Hardberg is worth a small detour to the"Steinerne Bank\\\" with a beautiful view of the Eiterbachtal.
