August 5, 2025,Michelstadt "Grow old along with me"

Perhaps the attempt to capture John Lennon's unfinished song as a declaration of love in German is a bit clumsy. For home use. I started out with the catchy tune (I only remembered one verse) and walked through it. "My dearest" is the motif and helps in the search for the motif. The original is difficult to translate, but it's …

Easy circular hiking trail over 8 km with interesting cultural and historical sights and beautiful views of the Mümling valley and the town of Michelstadt.

Varied circular hike over meadows and fields with slight climbs. The path also leads through the forest for a short time. We pass springs, a small lake and the Rehbach. The crowning glory of the …

April 26, 2026,Einhardsbasilika Runde 🙃🫶👌

Today we drove to the parking lot 🅿️ at the Einhard Basilica. First, we visited this 🙃. Admission is €4 and there are restrooms. Nearby is a castle, which is inhabited. But first, we hiked trail S4. Beautiful paths, great views also towards Michelstadt. Then we went to the castle, which is also very photogenic from the outside. You can …

April 28, 2024,Odenwald 🌲 🌳 - Steinbach "Basilika-Rundweg"

First, I'll sleep in and then go on a "refreshment tour" in the afternoon with my eldest daughter and son-in-law. My daughter gave me a book with the most relaxing tours in the Odenwald. From this, the first round - "In the footsteps of Einhard".
I was able to test out my new hiking tires 🥾🥾. I'll counter anyone who …

January 19, 2025,Basilika Rundweg 🌞🥾

We just had to get out on this 🌞 🤩. Because of my husband's knee problems, only a short tour was possible... and that's when we thought of the basilica tour in Michelstadt 💡.
A very nice tour with a special highlight: the courtyard of Fürstenau Castle 🤩. You should definitely take a look when it's open 👍

June 18, 2024,Einhardsbasilika – Großer Rehbach-See Runde von Michelstadt

Hello, today we started from Michelstadt train station towards Einhardsbasilika and the big Rebach lake circuit. After the basilica we went straight uphill in the humid warm temperatures. We continued for a while without shade until we got into the forest. It was more pleasant here. The tour went uphill and downhill until we came to a spring that was …
