The Katzbach railway opens up to us a typical hiking region of the Kraichgau. Between vineyards and forest above the wine town of Tiefenbach, the tour leads to the small Kreuzberg chapel with its colorful interior and wide view in front. Those who feel like it can walk back via Tiefenbach and taste the products of the vineyards walked through in a typical Kraichgau Besen.
From Odenheim station, we hike along the extension of the railway line that formerly ran here, along the Katzbach in a southeast direction (yellow line). At the end of the settlement, we turn left, find a hiking trail sign for the Besenhexweg on a tool shed, and continue straight on the grass path. Soon the lateral loess walls become higher and we walk through a wonderful typical Kraichgau hollow. In spring and summer, the buzzing of numerous insects living in the sandy substrate of the path edges accompanies us. Ignoring a branch, it gradually goes higher. Now and then it's worth looking back at the wine town. We reach the plateau and turn left at the end of the path. Although the signs point right, we walk on the paved farm road up to the edge of the forest.

Albrecht Ritter
Albrecht Ritter, geboren und aufgewachsen zwischen Schwäbischer Alb und Bodensee, lebt heute an der badischen Bergstraße. Seine Leidenschaft für die Landschaft, ihre Vielfalt und Zusammenhänge mündete in ein Studium der Geographie. Erst spät entdeckte er die Wanderleidenschaft, pilgerte auf diversen europäischen Jakobswegen und verfasste einen Wanderführer über den südfranzösischen Pilgerweg Via Tolosana. Danach gänzlich dem Wandern verfallen, schrieb er Wanderbücher über seine jetzige Heimat und ihre nähere Umgebung. Sein liebstes Wanderrevier liegt direkt vor der Haustüre an Neckar, Bergstraße, Odenwald und Pfälzerwald. Aber auch auf Wanderpfaden in den Bergen Umbriens, der Toskana und in den Französischen Cevennen, wenn möglich abseits der Touristenströme, blüht sein Herz auf.
