Scenic circular route around the Liebersbach valley. Starting from the Juhöhe, it goes in a comfortable up and down over beautiful open spaces dotted with lovely orchards. Since the route mostly follows the hilltops, you always have a great panoramic view (partly to the Rhine plain).

Exceptionally beautiful route on the Blütenweg along the Bergstraße from Weinheim to Laudenbach. The complete Blütenweg route is approximately 95 km long and stretches from Darmstadt-Eberstadt to Wiesloch. However, the section north of Weinheim is particularly beautiful and impressive. Constantly changing terrain with vineyards, small orchards, flower-rich gardens, primeval forest-like woods with a wide variety of tree species, small gorges, many streams, and meadow landscapes - along with repeated beautiful views of the Bergstraße villages in the valley. Simply a great experience for everyone who loves diverse nature.

    Ein sehr schöner und abwechslungsreicher Wanderweg mit vielen Möglichkeiten, eine Pause einzulegen. Das Highlight war für mich der Hirschkopfturm, der eine fantastische Aussicht bietet. Die vorgeschlagene Laufrichtung macht Sinn, da man so die ersten 450 Höhenmeter bereits nach 5km hinter sich hat und es danach nur noch sehr entspannt weiter geht.

    Bei dieser verhältnismäßig kurzen Tour gab es einige Rasthütten die auch in Ordnung waren.

    Eine sehr schöne Tour, besonders im Frühling wenn die vielen Apfelbäume blühen. Nur zu empfehlen! Vielleicht noch eine Anmerkung zum Start- und Zielpunkt: hier kann/sollte nicht geparkt werden! Alternativen: auf der Juhöhe gibt es 2 große Parkplätze (ca. 500 m entfernt).

    Schöne sonnige Wanderung entlang von Streuobstwiesen, Feldern und Bachläufen die eine Vielzahl an Ausblicken bietet. Viele Bänke laden zur Rast ein und bestechen durch Ruhe und Fernsichten.

    Sehr schöne Tour. Interessanter Wald mit tiefen Schluchten. Die bekannt schöne Weitsicht bei der Juhöhe. Besonders bemerkenswert finde ich die vielen blühenden Ginsterbüsche um dieses Zeit.

    Eine perfekte Route, um die Landschaften des Odenwalds kennenzulernen. Es geht über sanfte Hügel, schattige Waldpfade, kleine Schluchten, entlang von Wiesen und Weiden, über Streuobstwiesen und sogar an einem kleinen Teich vorbei. Die Tour ist abwechslungsreich, bietet immer wieder traumhafte Ausblicke ins Tal und viele idyllische Plätzchen, die zum Rasten und Verweilen einladen. Highlights sind der Waldnerturm oberhalb von Nieder-Liebersbach mit einer schönen Wiese und tollem Ausblick (Sitzbänke vorhanden), der Blick auf den Grenzhügel zwischen Hessen und BaWü kurz nach dem Kreuzberg, der idyllische Wegabschnitt vor und nach der Siedlung Juhöhe und der folgende Abschnitt zwischen Bonsweiher und Ober-Liebersbach. Wer Einkehrmöglichkeiten sucht, kann sie allenfalls auf dem Wegstück durch Nieder-Liebersbach entdecken, ansonsten ist man hier nur von Natur umgeben. Kurzum: Eine rundum gelungene Tour, die man am besten nicht zur Mittagszeit im Hochsommer läuft, um das Spiel von Licht und Schatten in den Tälern zu bestaunen. Vielen Dank an den Autor - und bitte mehr davon!
