Not-Gottes Chapel Parking Area

Highlight • Parking

The parking lot is easy to reach and there is also a lot of space. I would rather come early then later it can get quite crowded.

View of Bensheim

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 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.
