Through beautiful apple trees the apple orchard path leads along narrow paths to the castle Braubach. The apple varieties are described with signs .... In the bloom of the apple trees it must be beautiful here.

From the whole way to the Magareth Gorge you have a wonderful view of the Neckar Valley. The path is also wonderful in the sun. Especially pleasant on cool days.

February 27, 2022,Margarethenschluchtpfad – Blick Neckar - Guttenbach Runde von Binau

Today we went to the Neckar-Odenwald district. We had planned a tour with the Margarethen Gorge. We shouldn't be disappointed. After the first small incline you have a wonderful view of Binau. After that comes the Margarethen Gorge. Sturdy shoes are absolutely necessary to cross this. With its beautiful waterfalls, the Margarethen Gorge is really worth a visit. The pictures …

We hiked about half of the path of the same name, but crossed the Neckar Bridge to Guttenbach and discovered a planetary path there that illustrates the distances of the various planets from the sun by means of distances. For example, the "distance" between the sun …

Start directly at the Guttenbach barrage. There are parking lanes on both sides of the main road.
At first it goes directly up above Binau. There you come to Dauchstein Castle. A privately owned tower. Had a nice conversation with the lord of the castle, they come from the Rhineland and bought the tower as a weekend house 👍 Not …
