Path of Crystals – Katzenbuckel Volcano

Highlight • Trail

The path goes above the Katzenbuckelsee along to the ski jump and then further up towards the tower. We actually found small crystals there.

Freya hut and spring - highest spring in the Odenwald

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A nice, large site with plenty of seating. There's a barbecue area, although there's a sign prohibiting barbecues. The site offers little shade, and there are also toilet cabins, but they're not always accessible.
