Ellenbach Valley Forest Nature Trail

Highlight • Trail

"No forest without water - no life without water! If we want to live, we have to protect the forest. "Prophetic words already in the middle of the 20th century, when environmental protection and nature conservation were not yet on the social agenda. The Upper Schönmattenwager teacher Rupprecht Bayer was also pioneer in other ways: Under his direction was from 1955 to 57, the first German forest nature trail in the idyllic Ellenbachtal created.

Very nice cookie. Especially in summer, always water for the dogs and to cool their feet. Attention cold!

If you already dive through the Odenwald Geo-Nature Park, it does not hurt to learn a bit about the geology of this area. Here in the information center you can do that. The exhibition informs you about the natural stone extraction in the area and focuses on the two most important rocks here: granite and sandstone. Above all, you can see here how the work in the quarry used to be. In addition, you can see which habitats can arise on disused mining areas.

Hello everyone,

I was out and about at Wald-Michelbach at the weekend and tried a tour from the book "Mystical Paths in the Odenwald", more precisely the tour "The Disappearing Village", a circular route from Aschbach to Ober-Schönmattenwag and back again.

Showing Translation

A very beautiful hike through a very beautiful valley, great views, enchanted meadows, beautiful paths... An all-round great hiking experience.
