Stone Spring in Geo-Naturpark Bergstraße-Odenwald

Highlight • Natural Monument

Not suitable for biking.

The start and finish today was the Neues Rathaus tram stop. After a short climb I reached the ruins of Tannenberg Castle and enjoyed a wonderful view. Then it went down to the romantic fairytale pond. The weather was fine...a nice trip

September 29, 2024,Ausblick auf Seeheim von Burgruine Tannenberg - Runde ab Museum Seeheim-Jugenheim

Took advantage of the sun's rays and visited a place/castle ruin that I hadn't seen before. Great views from up there. The whole mountain is also well visited by mountain bikers.
