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.

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.

January 25, 2024,🌤🥾 EM1 ab Erbach Bahnhof
From Erbacher Bahnhof we went on the EM1 again today (after a long time) 👍. Really a beautiful and varied circular hike around Erbach and Michelstadt.
We walked the tour the other way around - so everything seems new 😂.
The combination of sightseeing and hiking is nice here 👍🥾

The super beautiful old town of Michelstadt loses any quality of stay due to the permanent through traffic 😲

Normally, on May 1st, there is always a vineyard hike on the Bergstraße. But this time I had a private meeting in Michelstadt in the afternoon. That's why I spontaneously chose the panoramic tour around Michelstadt and Erbach this morning. I was particularly surprised by the pretty half-timbered houses in the two old towns.

What a day 🌞🌞🌞

We used the 'Erbach - Michelstadt Panorama Trail' to visit the two Christmas markets (Erbach in the light, Michelstadt in the dark) and enjoyed the sunshine, beautiful views, birdsong, mulled wine and the glow of the lights and bought one or two souvenirs 😄.

Nice hike made with my kids around Michelstadt and Erbach. Stumbled upon several MTB trails along the way...
Next time we'll take the bikes with us!

I've been planning to hike the circular route from Michelstadt to Erbach for over a year.
Today I dare to go on the tour in still unstable weather.
I start from the bee market parking lot through the industrial area and am soon in beautiful nature. The path in the forest is great and I can leave my cell phone …

After my cycling holiday in India, I hadn't been out much yet, but slowly my weather is returning and nature is finally blooming and turning green. I enjoyed this today on an easy hiking loop in the Odenwald between Michelstadt and Erbach. A large part of the loop leads along panoramic paths above the two towns, with wide beautiful views …
