A striking medieval stone tower house (Tempelhaus) in Erbach, one of the best-preserved Romanesque residential towers in the Odenwald. Look for it rising above the rooftops near the old town.

The Mümling river flows right through the town center, flanked by historic half-timbered buildings and a lovely market square. A beautiful spot to stop, with cafes and benches along the water.

A nice vantage point to look up at Erbach's historic castle tower rising above the old town rooftops. Easily visible from the road as you ride through the city center.
