Erlenmühle in the Obrunn Gorge

Highlight • Structure

The Erlenmühle, like the Sleeping Beauty Castle, is one of the oldest fairytale houses in the Obrunn Gorge. The buildings were built by Peter Wölfelschneider. A fatal accident in 1968 put an end to his creative enthusiasm. He is considered one of the fathers of the romantic buildings. Since these buildings are sturdy and made of stone, they survived the destructive storm in 1968 and several subsequent ones almost unscathed.

Demanding beautiful hike around Höchst i.Odw. Start through the Obrunn Gorge on the fairy tale path with great motifs. Continue to Breuberg Castle with a beautiful view of the Odenwald and back through beautiful forest paths.

One of the largest and best-preserved fortresses in Hesse, Breuberg Castle, is not to be found where one would secretly expect the stone-made claim to power of this monumentality. It neither secured any significant territory nor was it located on important river or trade routes. Far away in the northeastern Odenwald on a 150 meter high mountain cone above the …

Together with my friend Christopher we started this FAZ tour tip from Höchst. In fairly cool temperatures we headed towards Breuberg Castle. In great weather we went up to the keep and enjoyed the great view of Neustadt and the surrounding area before our lunch break. After a short break we continued back to Höchst via the Obrunn Gorge. Here …

Nice hike in clear sunshine, which requires stamina, with sometimes steep ascents and descents. The fog that had evaporated at the beginning of the tour was a special natural spectacle. Worth seeing are the Wamboldter Schlösschen (former Roman settlement), the Breuberg Castle (café) and the Obrunn Gorge with miniature buildings from the region, Germany and fairy tales.
