First you have to hike quite a long distance through Mosbach...but not through the beautiful city center...the signage in this first section also leaves a …

Starting point: Mosbach

The first km run through the city and on paved paths. A bit difficult on very hot days as there is little shade.
The subsequent …

My Jupiter path was taken in the opposite direction from Neckarburken to Mosbach. Better parking and fewer steep climbs. Return journey with DB for €2.40
Info: tg-odenwald.de
PS: As an active model pilot, a trip to the MOS model airfield was mandatory ;)

So, another Roman path worked off. After the bigger tour on Saturday we went a quiet round. It was a path without any special highlights but with beautiful views. The conclusion in the cafe in the old town was nice. This is how life is fun.♥️
