April 10, 2023,Nibelungentour (R6) von Laudenau über Lindenfels und Reichelsheim

Today, when the weather was nice, we started from Laudenau in the direction of Lindenfels and then to Reichelsheim. We slightly shortened the planned circular route no. 6 towards the end. All in all, it was a really great tour with many varied views and sections of the trail. You should be in good physical condition for this...

July 14, 2024,Rundtour Reichelsheim (Odenwald) 🌞

Shortened Niebelungenrunde from Reichelsheim, whereby the sections of the route that ran on the Niebelungensteig itself were actually the most beautiful🤩.
Otherwise there were many views with pleasant temperatures in the shady forest 🌳🌲. There was not much going on there and you could just enjoy the peace and quiet..... except for the places where public roads had to be …

The Nibelungen tour today was very varied. Super nice views. The weather today was great and with the snow it was really fun again... was somehow special...
Last week in a T-shirt and today in a winter outfit.
Was a great tour...🙃👍😊

Today we started the hiking season 2023. We chose the Nibelungen Path (hiking trail: R6) for this. We really enjoyed the hike. The castle ruins and the waterfall were my absolute highlights 🙂.

February 17, 2024,Reichelsheim: Nibelungenrunde im Odenwald

Nachdem es gestern bis in die Nacht geschüttet hat, überrascht am Morgen die Sonne! Nix wie raus!

Mental auf Mappelwege eingestellt, werden die Goretex-Schuhe an die Mauken getackert. Heute muss ich mangels adäquater Bahnverbindung aufs Auto zurückgreifen. Drei Stunden Anreise für 50 Kilometer sind selbst für mich geduldiges Wesen (hüstel, flunker) nicht vertretbar. Tief rein geht's in den Odenwald, durch …

March 5, 2022,Wanderung 06/22 Nibelungentour Reichelsheim (Odw.)

Today we were two. We had planned the almost 25 km long Nibelungen Tour. Originally we wanted to walk counterclockwise from Reichesheim and start with the Rodenstein ruins. But already in the village we missed the right turn and since we didn't need a map at first because of the marking (R6), we cheerfully started walking, but without realizing that …
