On the Bocksberg

Highlight • Summit

As befits a mountain in the Odenwald, the Bocksberg is also densely overgrown with trees on its summit. A narrow, natural path leads over the summit and if you are lucky you can catch a glimpse of the Rhine valley between the trunks.

Waldnerturm Hemsbach-Watzenhof

Highlight • Monument

Waldner Tower (Four Knights Tower)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Waldnerturm, also called the "four-tower tower", is about ten meters high and is located on a 267 meter high saddle between two clearly higher hills, the Kreuzberg and the Bocksberg. For what? The tower was intended as a venue and resting place for noble hunting companies, later he was a weekend hostel of a youth organization. After all, you have a top view here to one side: to the west you have a clear view of the Rhine plain. Opposite, you can already see the drumming and look forward to climbing it by bike. Speaking of: once climb the tower is also one of them. By the way: There is a fireplace here - if the break should be a bit luscious.

Steinerner Gaul (Stone Horse Boulder)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Pretty impressive boulder. I myself would not have come to the shape of a horse by itself. But maybe I lack the imagination for that. The rock was mentioned in documents more than 1,000 years ago. There is also speculation that it could be a Celtic place of worship.

Kreuzberg Pilgrimage Site

Highlight • Religious Site

This is a former pagan place of worship. Lorsch monks built here in 1350 a chapel, which was destroyed and rebuilt several times. At the beginning of the 18th century, the pilgrimage site on Kreuzberg was cared for by a hermitage; However, this was abandoned in 1808 and demolished along with the chapel. Today, there are fourteen cast-iron station pictures depicting the Passion of Jesus and an altar cross.
