Highlight • Viewpoint

From the edge of the forest you have a beautiful view of the other side of the valley... when you are on the MD3, you can see back the path you have taken before

April 19, 2023,Mossautal: Drachenweg Dorn, MD 3

Today was a perfect day for the dragon trail "Dorn". The weather kept getting better. We - Roland and I - hiked counter-clockwise, so that the more difficult section - zigzagging through the forest - was at the beginning. At the leisure facility, the pond with the pretty drawing aroused our interest. An artificial drain had stretched the algae threads …

Start: From the traditional Schmucker private brewery. Trail marker MD3. A very beautiful, challenging circular hike around the Mossau Valley. Mixed forests and scenic landscapes alternate. You pass natural monuments, springs, the Finkenbrunnen fountain, the Rösselbrunnen fountain, and the Johanniter Church.

Finally had time to go hiking again. The penultimate of the four dragon paths has been lying around in the archives since it was planned in 2019 and should also be hiked. No sooner said than done, we got out early and went to the Schmucker brewery in the Odenwald. The hiking trail is well signposted with MD3 and runs …

May 22, 2022,Mossautal: Drachenweg "Dorn" (MD3)

An all-round great and successful panoramic trail through the tranquil Mossau Valley. Beautiful forest roads/paths. On the first half there is still plenty of seating, then it gets a little thinner. There is a Kneipp pool in the middle of the forest. Only towards the end do two more sky loungers appear, be sure to linger and enjoy the view. …

In addition to the Nibelungensteig, there are numerous dragon paths that invite you to explore the nature of the Odenwald. The Dorn Dragon Path follows the MD3 signposting and is always well signposted.

The official description is: “Mixed forest and open landscapes alternate. The heights offer many wonderful views. The “Rosselbrunnen” Kneipp facility invites you to refresh yourself. The climb …
