August 6, 2024,Etappe 7: Von Neckargerach nach Mosbach – Neckarsteig

A beautiful tour that should not be underestimated despite the few kilometers and meters of elevation.
Be careful, the Margaretenschlucht is an absolute highlight, but really only suitable for very sporty hikers, preferably with alpine experience, no joke!
The last few meters of elevation up into the oak forest are tough, especially in very hot weather, you might be able …

Today we did the 7th stage of the Neckarsteig. It went from Neckargerach to Mosbach. The highlight of the tour comes pretty much at the beginning and is the Margaretenschlucht. Really beautiful and not to be underestimated, especially when the ground is wet. You also have to climb a little but there are ropes stretched along the route. When you …

Yesterday the tips for the weekend came from Komoot... this was one of them. Since I had already hiked the first 4 stages, I quickly looked at the VRN timetable and since this suited me well, it was a quick and spontaneous decision. Now there are 4 stages left and then the entire trail will be hiked.
The Neckarsteig has …

July 4, 2022,Neckarsteig Etappe 3 : Mosbach nach Neckargerach

Today from Mosbach on the Neckarsteig to Neckargerach. Mosbach is a very beautiful town, characterized by a lot of half-timbered houses. Highly recommended. Then the path led us to the Margareten Gorge. A narrow path snakes its way down. The path is secured with ropes, but should only be walked in dry weather. After the gorge, the path runs above …

The wonderful weather is perfect for a short vacation – so we set off for Erlenbach near Heilbronn. Inspired by @Veronika 2020 and @🇺🇦Uwe 🏃‍♂️1098🏍, we decided to hike this stage of the Neckarsteig.
Our starting point was Neckargerach, and after a short time, we reached the first highlight: the impressive Margaretenschlucht Gorge. Although there was only a little water …

Today I tackled the 7th stage of the Neckarsteig. This starts with a highlight. The Margarethen Gorge near Neckargerach. A wildly romantic gorge with some climbing sections. You should be sure-footed and good shoes are definitely required here. The paths are also secured with ropes. We continued in the forest and along dry meadows to Mosbach. With the goal already …

My third day took me to my hometown. From the campsite in Neckargerach I went to the Margarethenschlucht and up there. It is really alpine. It is a challenge, especially with high backpacks, you have to be very careful. It is a particularly beautiful gorge in the sandstone. At the top there is a vending machine where I got myself …

South of Neckargerach, on its way down to the Neckar, the Flursbach has cut a wildly romantic gorge in the red sandstone of the Odenwald.
