March 10, 2022,Wanderung 07/22 Panoramaweg Fischbachtal

At the moment I'm trying to soak up a lot of sun on my hikes and there was plenty of that today. For this I chose the Fischbachtal Panoramaweg, which leads through the individual districts of the municipality on scenic paths.
The start was the Riedbusch car park, just before the entrance to Lichtenberg. From there, I recommend not immediately …

June 24, 2023,Fischbachtal - Panoramaweg F1

Short weekend break in the Odenwald ☀️⛺
Despite the high summer temperatures, a hike was of course a must. Summary: The path is perfectly justified by the "Panorama" in its name! 👍

Beautiful views alternate with rather boring sections. Did the tour in 2006 in preparation for a hiking holiday. However, I no longer remembered that long distances were on asphalt, and that there were even some asphalted paths in the forest. Note: At the beginning of my tour I preferred to hike through the residential area and behind the campsite than …

A wonderful tour around the Fischbachtal 😍 we went up and down through greening deciduous forests to the next view.... 🤗 Always changing..... Wonderful... The blue sky and the white clouds round it all off.... Fantastic 😍. I have never seen so many cockchafers at once. There was buzzing and humming everywhere 🪲🐝🐞🐞🦋.....
And today we had our first encounter …

Today we went to Lichtenberg - a district of the Fischbachtal community in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district in southern Hesse. We started at the Riedbusch hiking car park. Great area with wonderful views. We saved today's highlight until the end. Lichtenberg Castle and the neighboring bastion are well worth seeing with a fantastic view.

In the morning we started from the Odenwaldidyll campsite in Fischbach. You can visit Lichtenberg Castle with the bulwark right at the beginning of the tour, or at the end you can have a snack in the surrounding inns. The tour leads through the beautiful Fischbachtal and can be hiked without great effort. Along the way, some homeowners have jams, …

December 1, 2024,Panoramaweg Fischbachtal

Today we went to the beautiful Fischbachtal again 😊 We were mainly on the F1 (panorama tour), but took a shortcut at one point via a connecting path (F V). The path itself is solid, offers beautiful views as the name suggests and has another highlight at the end with Lichtenberg and the castle 😊 Particularly nice: There was an …

First of all, a note for all those unfamiliar with the Odenwald: The title of the tour contains nothing reprehensible, offensive or even forbidden 😉 , it merely refers to the highest point within the Fischbachtal district, a rock-strewn plateau at a height of 498 meters above sea level; Where the peculiar name of this not even real summit comes …
