View of the Odenwald

Highlight • Viewpoint

Every now and then you get some really beautiful views on this route. Sometimes the trees are in the way, but then you just walk a few meters further and you can see far.

Auerbach Castle

Highlight • Castle

Auerbach Castle is one of the most famous castle complexes on Bergstrasse. What is particularly fascinating is the unique view of the Rhine plain and the Odenwald.

The former landgraves and grand dukes of Hesse-Darmstadt resided here. With a playful ensemble consisting of stately houses, grottos and pavilions as well as a princely park, this complex is one of the very special sights in this region.

September 7, 2023,🚶🏼‍♀️Auerbacher Schlossweg

The Auerbacher Schlossweg follows the green A1 route markings. What can I say, a really magical little circular route with a steep climb to the castle. Otherwise the path mostly runs in the shade. It's a shame that the Burgschänke doesn't have any food, I would have liked to treat myself to a cool blonde drink. The view from the …

I have wanted to walk the Auerbach Castle Trail for a long time, and today was the perfect day. It is well marked with the A1. bergstrasse-odenwald.de/detail/id=5f15410f0e3c1c0fedd159c8
It starts at the Fürstenlager car park (it is very small, however, there are still parking spaces in Bachgasse, by the church and hidden in Weidgasse, but it is hopelessly crowded on weekends, …

Long planned and finally realized today: A spring-like walk in beautiful weather with Günter along the Auerbach Castle Trail.

A true experience for all nature and hiking enthusiasts who are also interested in life and culture in the Middle Ages. The imposing castle ruins, the impressive hermitage, and the idyllic park grounds of the former Fürstenlager are nestled in a …

May 29, 2023,Wanderung Auerbacher Schlossweg

Varied circular route on the mountain road, through forests and on the sunny slopes of the Odenwald. With decent inclines, it goes gently through forest and fields with cultural encounters along the way. The hike began at the small mountain church in Auerbach, went through the Fürstenlager Bensheim state park, where you passed the Hermitage, a wooden house paneled with …

July 29, 2021,Wanderrunde im Odenwald zum Auerbacher Schloss + Fürstenlager

Beautiful hiking tour - start of the Schönberger sports ground car park. The km and altitude are right. The average speed and duration would be a dream if correct. Komoot has probably miscalculated.

July 15, 2025,Auerbacher Runde

Since I work in Bensheim and the constant commute is annoying, I sometimes just stay there. Today after work, I went for a lovely walk: first through the Auerbach vineyards, then up to the castle ruins of Schloss Auerbach. Unfortunately, it was already closed (admission only until 5 p.m.), but the walk around it was also beautiful. From there, I …
