The Nibelungensteig is a certified Qualitätsweg "Wanderbares Deutschland" (Quality Trail "Hiking in Germany") that leads from west to east across the Odenwald and thus through three federal states (Hesse, Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg) over 130 km in several stages, some of which are very strenuous, with a total of more than 4,000 metres of elevation gain. Our division differs from the official stages. We have chosen some shorter sections, added a few extra metres and stayed overnight in some different places.

"Nature experience combined with sporty hiking"... this is how the Burgensteig trail is described in the official flyer of the Bergstraße Tourist Association. The Burgensteig trail leads from Darmstadt-Eberstadt along the heights of the Odenwald to Heidelberg. Along the approximately 120 km, you will pass over 30 historical sights and cross two other well-known trails, the Nibelungensteig near Zwingenberg and the Neckarsteig in Heidelberg. We took the liberty of deviating from the "standard" route here and there.
