    Just behind the historic half-timbered town of Mosbach, the mighty Odenwald transitions into the rural Bauland. The roads meander over gentle hills, hill chains line up one after another, hawks and buzzards circle over the open landscapes and fields, which are geologically characterized by the layers of the Lower Muschelkalk. The Schefflenztal cycle path runs along the three rivers Seckach, Schefflenz, and Jagst and partly follows an old railway line and passes through idyllic meadow valleys. Experience a piece of the Odenwald on the Schefflenztal cycle path and let yourself be inspired by the sights on and beside the cycle path.

    Author’s recommendation

    Admire the numerous small castles along the route. For example, the castle park in Billigheim or the Greckenschloss in Kochendorf.
