Nibelungensteig Zwingenmountain Freudenmountain Leporell

The demanding hiking trail with more than 4,000 meters in altitude over more than 124 km impressively combines landscape, culture and history. Fantastic picture book panoramas alternate with shady forest passages, fascinating views are offered from the heights of the sun-drenched mountain road across the Rhine plain to the mountain range of the Palatinate Forest, the Donnersberg and the Taunus. Wooded hilltops, small, many-branched valleys, long-stretched Huben villages with magnificent half-timbered houses and legendary rock formations as well as relaxing silence make up for some drops of sweat that have been shed. Hikers encounter (earth) history at every turn on the entire Nibelungensteig, which runs through the Geo-Nature Park Bergstra?e-Odenwald. 33 partial maps and 6 editorial pages
