The name Katzensteig comes from the highest elevation in the Odenwald, the Katzenbuckel (626 m); it leads along the right side of the Neckar from Eberbach via the Katzenbuckel to Neckargerach. Numerous scenic and cultural highlights are found along this demanding and varied hiking trail in the Odenwald. Wide panoramic views over the Winterhauch plateau, quiet forest paths, and the romantic Höllgrund invite you to explore. The Katzensteig begins at the Nature Park Centre in Eberbach and ends at the train station in Neckargerach.
