Hiking

At almost 630 meters, the Katzenbuckel is the highest mountain in the Odenwald. It goes without saying that ambitious hikers want to climb the extinct volcano, right? On this 28-kilometer circular hike, you do just that and discover other pearls of the Neckartal-Odenwald nature park.

The Katzensteig has been on my to-do list for a long time. I've hiked parts of it many times, but not all the way from Eberbach to Neckargerach. Today was the day.
