This section in the Oderwald is a real piece of quality of life right on your doorstep. The path impresses with its tranquility and the dense canopy, which provides wonderful shade in summer and glows in great colors in autumn. From about March to May, the forest floor here transforms into a green sea of wild garlic. The fresh scent is unmistakable and makes the tour something very special. If you collect wild garlic, please remember the "hand-bouquet rule": only take as much as you need for personal consumption, and be careful not to pull out the plants along with the bulbs, so that we can enjoy them anew every year. Whether on two wheels or on foot – this path is the perfect place to clear your head and enjoy nature! 🌲🚲
