Erbach Castle

Highlight • Castle

The park is a green gem in the heart of Erbach, directly at the castle. The café is a highlight for itself: there are delicious, homemade cakes.

Erbach Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

Magnificent downtown. However, I would explore the city on foot, with a bike you are more likely to be on the train. At least it works like that.

September 9, 2024,Wanderung 09.09.2024 Marktplatz Michelstadt – Erbach Altstadt und Schloss Erbach Runde von Michelstadt Bhf 🙋‍♂️🥾🌥️😊

This morning after breakfast, due to the weather, we decided at short notice to take public transport to Michelstadt in Hesse. We visited two beautiful old towns in Michelstadt and Erbach with many half-timbered houses. The way there to Erbach led over beautiful single trails through a beautiful forest and the way back along the Mümling to Michelstadt. 🌂 was …

Here Erbach and Michelstadt lie at your feet and you can let your gaze wander over the Mümlingtal. We followed the forest path to Dorf-Erbach and then descended to Erbach. Here we …

With the weather today and the views, I understand why 😀

Today, on the second day of Christmas, we had great weather again - initially quite cold (frost), but with constant sunshine and thus rising temperatures. We wanted to combine the trip with a Christmas dinner. The Odenwald is a good option - good restaurants, good prices and often open over the holidays. But our favorites were all closed or fully …
