Water wheel on the hiking trail

Highlight • Monument

There's still a lot of water here and it's comforting to sit at the stone table and listen to the water. You sit wonderfully in the shade and can relax.

Former railroad station Robern

Highlight • Historical Site

At this point, a sign and an information board remind of the former Robern station, which was located on the route of the Odenwald Express. Only a few meters from the former station, you will find a cozy rest hut.

This tour had been on our "we want to do" list for a long time.

This morning, we made a spontaneous decision – today is a good day for it.

We take the tram to Mosbach to start the "Wanderbahn Tour." We'll skip Mosbach itself, whose historic old town is worth a stroll, and head straight through Elzpark toward the …

Spontaneous bike tour before the Münsterland bus bike tour begins tomorrow. The goal was the historical bicycle exhibition in Mosbach

Another beautiful tour, especially when it's a bit sunnier 🌞. We could have done without the strength training at the train stations due to broken elevators, though. 🙁

May 2, 2025,Ab in den Odenwald 🚴

Another beautiful tour with @Wolfgang in the Odenwald. Via Dallau and always along the Elz River, we continued to Heidersbach to the Heidersbach Mill, and then over to Limbach. The café invited us for a break, which we certainly deserved after the climb 👍. Afterwards, it was mostly downhill on the hiking trail back to Mosbach and home. Almost 30°C …
